ID: 30724 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: mfurdyk at takingitglobal dot org -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Redhat 7.3 PHP Version: 4.3.9 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 need to encode non-ASCII subject lines with base64_encode() or imap_qprint().

If I send an e-mail, using UTF-8 as encoding for the .php files that does this, with the subject and body being Unicode Russian or Spanish or any type of special characters, the subject always comes through missing characters... The body, however, is always fine! Reproduce code: --------------- mail("$full","Вестник TakingITGlobal 4.11: Предпринимательство","TakingITGlobal 4.11: представляет whatever here","From: test@whatever.com\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=\"utf-8\"\n"); Expected result: ---------------- Subject retainining all UTF-8 characters. Actual result: -------------- Subject: е ник TakingITGlobal 4.11: едп инима ел во ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30724&edit=1
