Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-07 00:06:07] asif@evoknow.com That was not a solution. U din understand the problem. even if I read from database(MySQL) in my case, and if there is a String that contains "$5000", it automatically converts it to "00". Should that happen? It somehow parses $ followed by a number in a wrong way. I think I could describe the prob in a better way this time ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-06 23:58:47] weixian_shen@hotmail.com USE SINGLE QUOTE! like this '$500' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-06 23:45:36] asif@evoknow.com When I try to publish some String by taking it via text area from user, if the user writes "$500", when I publish it in the next page it shows "00". That means it nullifies $5. It treats $5 as null. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19273&edit=1
