Traditionally if you wanted to display a value from your database as a currency you would add a currency symbol such as £ or $ before the binding of the field which stores that value...

with eCart there is a nice little function that does this for you, the function is called WA_eCart_DisplayMoney.

This function name would be placed inside a php echo and it comprises of 2 paremeters:

WA_eCart_DisplayMoney($YourCartName, $TableRowValue)

And example as follows:

php:
<?php echo WA_eCart_DisplayMoney($WebCart$row_rsItems['ItemPrice']); ?>
