note 107897 added to function.iconv-mime-encode

iconv_mime_encode() isn't directly suitable for encoding headers which include "specials" as described in RFC 1522 s4 & s5, for example <?php $mimeprefs = array ("scheme" => "Q", "input-charset" => "utf-8", "output-charset" => "utf-8", "line-break-chars" => "\n"); $enc = iconv_mime_encode('From', '"Réal Namé" <user@example.com>', $prefs); ?> will wrongly attempt to encode the angle brackets. To use the function in place of mb_encode_mimeheader(), instead you need to encode the words separately, removing the superfluous field name: <?php $encoded = "From: \"". preg_replace('/^:\s+/', '', iconv_mime_encode("", $real, $mimeprefs))."\" <$email>"; ?> Also, values of "line-length" greater than 76 would be illegal under RFC 1522 and resulting encoded words may not be recognised. (Not tested, but 72 would be safer.) ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 93.96.136.249 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv-mime-encode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/107897 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107897/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107897/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107897/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107897/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107897/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107897/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107897 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/107897 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
