   An easy solution could be te replace GBP with & pound ; (without the spaces) after the money_format.

   Not familiar with the benefits of money_format, but I would just use number_format instead and just prepend the currency symbol to it.

   Use str_replace() function is an option.

   £ – British Pound – £ (163)

   // Search for the GBP in your string (subject) then replace for the symbol code
   $search = "GBP";
   $replace = "£";
   $subject = "GBP";
   echo str_replace($search, $replace, $subject);
