#20529 [Opn->Bgs]: Bad subject line when using JIS encoding

ID: 20529 Updated by: moriyoshi@php.net Reported By: malek@idanet.co.jp -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: mbstring related Operating System: red hat Linux 6.2 PHP Version: 4.3.0RC1 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. You should prepare mime headers(subject line, etc.) to be encoded in base64. Please ask this kind of question at php-i18n@lists.php.net or php-users@php.gr.jp(if you can understand Japanese) which you can subscribe at the appropriate pages of http://www.php.net/ or http://www.php.gr.jp/ respectively, before posting this kind of question to the bug database.

On viewing the email source I noticed that it is seemingly removing some characters from the Subject line JIS, Subject: $B%G%$%j!<%l%]!<%H (B <--- this is the resulting subject line which is broken test->$B%G%$%j!<%l%]!<%H(B <--- this is the email body which works fine $B%G%$%j!<%l%]!<%H (B $B%G%$%j!<%l%]!<%H(B slightly different. Also if you take out the "test->" on the body part the body of the email will not to work. p.s. there is no problems with 4.0,4.1 or 4.2 thanks, Malek ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20529&edit=1
