it's a charset problem ;) just transform the special char to a html entity. it's no nice solution but may be the one with the less work — Sindhara

Try this :

$data['price']='&pound;1';
print_r(json_encode($data));

shouldn't it be £1 technically?

@Ben yes, it should be. As i have tried without ';' I got the same result.. so I think it's not necessary :) thnk you tho

You are not encoding same array.. you are storing value in $dat and encoding $data....

check your code ..

He's getting the print_r correctly so he must've made a typo posting his code here

I am afraid you cannot encode £ to JSON unfortunately. You can try £ in it's place and it will work.

Try this

$data['price'] = htmlentities('£1', ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8');

Try like this:

$data['price']="$1";

print_r(json_encode($data));

My result:

{"price":"$1"}

He wants the pound sign, not dollar sign

Hataru Over a year ago

sure but i don't have pound on my keyboard :)

Ben Over a year ago

@Hataru that's kind of a dumb reply then since $ is on the ascii table and doesn't cause any utf8 json encoding issue..

Hataru Over a year ago

yes i try now with pound and of course he needs &pound ... thanks
