Hi, I've had a php script installed on LinkLister directory which provides the rss feed to bbc.co.uk news. I know nothing about php and apart from the problem above I'd like the links, when clicked, to open in a new window/tab rather than in the same window as they do now. Can anybody help me with this?
It is a problem with the language / local your mysql database is set to. So it interprets £'s as ?'s. Look at it and change it
Thanks for your reply, I've looked and googled but can't see how to do this? I'll happily pay somebody to fix this for me.
take some screenshots of phpmyadmin so we can have a look .... want the screen you get just after you select a database NOT after you select a table in the database .....
I have a similar problem on my DB and haven't been arsed to fix it Try change the collation on one of the tables to ascii something [i forget which one] or maybe unicode, experiment Everytime you add one add a fresh entry to the db to check it One will work, I unfortunately dont know which, so try UNICODE first then ASCII.
Maybe I am the only one but do you want the links to open in a new window or is your question about the character problems? To open in a new window: Edit your HTML links to look like this: <a href="LINK" target="_new">TEXT</a>
