How do I get Special character Euro symbol € to display ?

Question

Hi,
How do I get the euro symbol € to display in Flash from
PHP file created in DW ?. It does not display it properly. I have
simplified the PHP code I have is:

<?php
$msgtoflash = "This is the Euro Symbol &#8364";
print ("&Databaseinfo=$msgtoflash");
?>

The &#8364 is a special character code for HTML.
If I use the $ or £ symbols it works perfectly but not
€ ?

Thanks,
Paul

You need touse the Unicode code point. Try this:$msgtoflash = "This is the Euro Symbol: \u20AC";-- David Powers, Adobe Community ExpertAuthor, "The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3" (friends ofED)Author, "PHP Solutions" (friends of ED)http://foundationphp.com/
