PHP 4.0 Bug #9741 Updated: MacOS / Skandinavian alphabets

ID: 9741 Updated by: wez Reported By: jussi.ranta@nomini.fi Status: Closed Bug Type: Mail related Assigned To: wez Comments: Sorry - I just re-read your report. It sounds like a bug in your mail client rather than PHP - PHP just passes the mail on to sendmail, and it is down to your mail client to parse and understand the message. The rfc822 doesnt say anything about the order in which the headers should appear. Can you try reading the message with other software? --Wez. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-14 14:26:52] wez@php.net This isn't a bug in PHP - yes you need to specify the correct MIME headers in order for your email client to understand the content. I suggest that you take a quick look at the mime RFCs. You should be adding headers to you email that looks like: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 You can use the headers parameter of the mail() function for this purpose. I'm not too sure if that's the correct charset, but should get the right idea! Hope that helps. If you are sending these headers and the problem persists, please re-open this report. --Wez. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-14 11:13:32] jussi.ranta@nomini.fi In order to print the skandinavian alphabets succesfully in the mail message with mac, Mime-Version: 1.0 should be announced in the first row of the message header: Doesn't work sent with php 4.0.4 -------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 13:03:09 +0200 To: jussi.ranta@nomini.fi Subject: Test subject ‰ˆÂˆ‰ˆÂˆ‰ˆ‰ˆÂ‰ˆ‰ MIME-Version: 1.0 From: äöåööäöåööäöå <test@test.fi> Status: O -------------------------------------------- Works sent with Eudora/Mac -------------------------------------------- Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Sender: juranta@mail.nomininetworks.com Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 12:07:27 +0200 To: jussi.ranta@nomini.fi From: Jussi Ranta <jussi.ranta@nomini.fi> Subject: test äöåäöåöäöåäö Status: ------------------------------------------- mail() -function does not have a feature to change the order of header information.
