changing $ to £ gives me a ?

[adam84]

Hi all

Sorry if this is a stupid question, i've setup the cart successfully and it works a charm. Just relalised it was in dollars and i needed in Pounds. However when i changed the Monetary Symbol on the nopcart.js file to £ from $, all i get is a ? on the site. Any ideas??

Thanks

Since the Pound Sterling sign is not part of the US-ASCII charcter set, your HTMl and checkout script should use UTF-8 as the character set.

HTML:

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

Read this for the Perl checkout script:
viewtopic.php?t=6344

I believe there is a similar thread for the PHP checkout script somewhere.

Cheers for the reply

I just read through that didnt make much sense to me bit of a noob, i have no issue with email just when the checkout displays a ? instead of £. I understand it is the charset, is it possible to bypass having £ but just to have GBP instead of $

thanks

Just tried this and obviously worked as GBP is included in the US-ASCII charcter set.
