Question

I am retrieving a variable that contains a £ sign from another page.
I want to remove this and I have tried using str_replace
but I am left with the following:

�100.

$amount = str_replace('£', '', $amount);

Any ideas?

Answer 1

1. try utf8_decode()ing the $amount (or the entire page you received) first
2. doubt you’ll need a 2.
