Question

I am going to do so the webtitle <title> is stored in the db, so you can change it without editing file..

I have both the title and a title splitter..

Like this:

page.com • 

the page.com is the title and the • is the splitter

Im having little issue by inserting the splitter, • into the database. I tried insert it as it is, • and by the html code •.

The first try by having • is that it turns out as ? in my varchar field,
Second try by having • is that in the webtitle it shows also as • and not the actual icon/symbol.

How can i fix this and have it accept chars so they dont turn out as ? or ??

Should i use another columntype than varchar maybe?

Answer 1

first, title does not allow html-entities

imho, you should store as •
and only manipulate/convert that into its original character when you outputing HTML
