I needed a PHP function that returns HTML Entity of currency codes, so I have written this small function with list of major currency symbols of the world, I hope this will be useful.

PHP

1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435

/* get currency symboles */
function get_currency_symbol($cc = 'USD')
{
	$cc = strtoupper($cc);
	$currency = array(
	"USD" => "&#36;" , //U.S. Dollar
	"AUD" => "&#36;" , //Australian Dollar
	"BRL" => "R&#36;" , //Brazilian Real
	"CAD" => "C&#36;" , //Canadian Dollar
	"CZK" => "K&#269;" , //Czech Koruna
	"DKK" => "kr" , //Danish Krone
	"EUR" => "&euro;" , //Euro
	"HKD" => "&#36" , //Hong Kong Dollar
	"HUF" => "Ft" , //Hungarian Forint
	"ILS" => "&#x20aa;" , //Israeli New Sheqel
	"INR" => "&#8377;", //Indian Rupee
	"JPY" => "&yen;" , //Japanese Yen 
	"MYR" => "RM" , //Malaysian Ringgit 
	"MXN" => "&#36" , //Mexican Peso
	"NOK" => "kr" , //Norwegian Krone
	"NZD" => "&#36" , //New Zealand Dollar
	"PHP" => "&#x20b1;" , //Philippine Peso
	"PLN" => "&#122;&#322;" ,//Polish Zloty
	"GBP" => "&pound;" , //Pound Sterling
	"SEK" => "kr" , //Swedish Krona
	"CHF" => "Fr" , //Swiss Franc
	"TWD" => "&#36;" , //Taiwan New Dollar 
	"THB" => "&#3647;" , //Thai Baht
	"TRY" => "&#8378;" //Turkish Lira
	);
	
	if(array_key_exists($cc, $currency)){
		return $currency[$cc];
	}
}

Usage


get_currency_symbol('GBP'); //returns Pound

<option value="">USD <option value="">AUD <option value="">BRL <option value="">CAD <option value="">CZK <option value="">DKK <option value="">EUR <option value="">HKD <option value="">HUF <option value="">ILS <option value="">INR <option value="">JPY <option value="">MYR <option value="">MXN <option value="">NOK <option value="">NZD <option value="">PHP <option value="">PLN <option value="">GBP <option value="">SEK <option value="">CHF <option value="">TWD <option value="">THB <option value="">TRY

Great snippet, looks like you're missing a "," on this line: "INR" => "₹" //Indian Rupee

Excellent work Saran, very helpful! FYI: there is a missing comma to break the rupee line - assuming it happened when you updated the code.
