How to output a pound sign from php?

varchar is fine. Do a var_dump() on the price field and see what it outputs.

 

One tip though:

It is way more convenient to save a price (since you're dealing with prices) as a numeric value to database. And then when you get the data you would echo it like:

echo 'price="' . $row['price'] . ' £" ';

 

So my suggestion is you make the type of price field as FLOAT or DOUBLE and append the pound sign to the price while outputting the data. That way you can do calculations with the price if needed in the future without processing the fields with php.
