Not sure if this is a server related issue but here it goes..

When I upload a page that uses iso-8859-1 as its charset to my server, any £ symbol gets converted to a � symbol. If I upload the same page using an UTF-8 charset the £ symbol displays correctly.

When I test the iso-8859-1 page locally the £ symbol displays properly. It is only when the iso-8859-1 page is uploaded to my server that the � symbol appears. Is this due to a server configuration issue?

Ideally I would just use UTF-8 to eliminate the problem but a script I am attempting to configure only supports iso-8859-1.

Cheers.

I can't do that as I don't have control over the £ symbols. I'm reading in an Amazon feed using Associate-O-Matic. AOM even goes as far as encrypting their .php files which is really really annoying. AOM does allow me to add a custom header file but I haven't been able to get it working. Their support doesn't have a solution either so I thought I might as well ask here if it is a possible server configuration problem.

The script works perfectly with iso-8859-1 on my local AMP environment.

Tried that program myself and I have to say I didn't find user friendly at all, so I just left it like that.
Did you try changing it in the buffer?
