Question

PHP E-Mail Encoding?

Answer 1

+3 A:

As far as I know PHP does not support UTF-8 as default encoding for its strings. You need to use the relevant encoding/handling functions for the encoding you would prefer.

Also add a 'Content-Type:text/html;charset=utf-8' to your email headers so the email clients will display the characters correctly (or replace with your encoding of choice).

Answer 2

A:

You didn’t specify the type and encoding of your content. Try this:

$headerFields = array(
    "From: {$visitor_email}",
    "MIME-Version: 1.0",
    "Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8"
);
$mail_sent = mail($client_email, $title, $message, implode("\r\n", $headerFields));

Answer 3

A:

Use a PHP mail wrapper, it will save your sanity (speaking from experience here). For example, PHPMailer allows you to set outgoing e-mail encoding and builds the message for you.

Also, use UTF-8; it's almost universally supported nowadays and covers all the characters you would ever need.

Answer 4

A:

I use the following code:

  $text = "";
  $text .= "<html>\n";
  $text .= "<body style=\"font-family:Arial; \">\n";

  $text .= "<b>Add Your text here . . .</b>";
  $text .= date("d.m.Y") . " <br><br>\n\n";

  $text .= "</body>\n";
  $text .= "</html>\n";

$headers = 'From: ' . $myEmail . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'To: ' . $depEmail . "\r\n";    
$headers .= 'Return-Path: ' . $myEmail . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' ."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Type: text/HTML; charset=ISO-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit'. "\n\r\n";
$headers .= $text . "\r\n";

set_time_limit(30);
if (!mail('', 'Demande information', '', $headers)) {
  Alert(...)
