    Hi,

    Very simple for a PHP programmer who knows...

    We are trying to read the contents of a CSV file. However, for some reason if the following information exists in on of the columns:

    "£5 off"

    It is displayed as "5 off". So it seems when the first letter is a "£" it removed it. Any ideas?

    Hi James - Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean... This is the code:

    
$file_handle = fopen("codes.csv", "r");
while (!feof($file_handle) ) 
{
	$line_of_text = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024, ",");
	$title = trim($line_of_text[1]);
             $title2.= "{$title}";
}
    PHP:
    However, if the $title in one of the rows is for example: "£5.00 off" - then it will echo as "5.00 off".
