Re: Mail () problem with some letters

I'm talking under correction, but you'd need to specify some additional headers to the mail. You'll need to specify the email to me MIME encoded, or provide the character encoding...

I have a small problem with my forms. I send it through the mail function $text = $firstname." ".$lastname." ."Firstname ".$firstname."\nLastname: ".$lastname."\...... and so on; mail("mail@mailadress.com","Contactform by $firstname $lastname",$text); When the user has sent the form everything works well and I receive all my informations. But only letters like 'ö' or 'ü' or 'ä' and some more were not displayed correctly. Ie. Instead of 'ö' my mailprogram shows me &#246; What do I have to do to send the form correctly. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
