Hi everybody. I'm currently using a PHP script to download messages through a POP3 connection (with fsockopen()). Messages are pooled and classified into my application (a help desk manager). As long as we use a lot of accents in spanish: á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ; those characters appears as =F1, =E9, =ED, =F3, etc. What type of encoding is it ? Which PHP function should I use to decode it ?

David: The encoding is Unicode code points. 00F1 is HEX for ñ 00E9 is HEX for é 00ED is HEX for í and so on. To decode, it's: <?php $result = chr(hexdec(<whatever HEX value)); echo $result; ?> However, to display it, you have to have a font capable of displaying the code point.
