HTML entities issue

Mar 28, 2008 01:07pm audiopleb Total Posts: 24	Loving bamboo. Excellent. I have 2 wee problems though. I had it running on my mac fine, then i put it onto a windoze machine so others can use it. Now pound signs are garbled! So i tried one users method of adding htmlentities function in the getsetting function (in settings_model) around the $row->field. This solved my problem, but on the order summary page, if you change the view of what status orders you want to see, the £ is replaced with the html entitie ie £ Really what i would love to know is, why is the encoding fine on my mac, but when i shift it over to my windoze machine the encoding is garbled. Any ideas would be gratefully received!
