Hello all,

 

First of, my php isn't good at all... My googling on the other hand is, but I haven't been able to find an answer to my question.

 

I'm working on a major site, shown in all European countries (or most of them) and the tricky thing is... The entities...  They all show up correctly on the website in the browser... But once viewed in any mail (hotmail, Mail on a mac... things don't come out correctly....

 

 

Here's my code.... can anyone find a way to fix it?

 

	/**
 * Send activation mail to new registrant.
 * Returns boolean 'true' on success, or 'false' if the mail didn't get sent.
 */
function sendActivationMail($email = '')
{
	if (! empty($email))
	{
		if (!preg_match('/^[a-z]\w*(\.\w[a-z0-9-]*)*@\w[a-z0-9-]*(\.\w[a-z0-9-]*)*\.[a-z]{2,6}$/i', $email)) return false;
		$this->formFields['email']['value'] = $email;
	}

	$activationlink = ROOT_URL.'/register.php?activate='.md5($this->formFields['email']['value']);

	$from		= ADMIN_EMAIL;
	$to			= $this->formFields['email']['value'];
	$subject	= USR_MAIL_SUBJECT;
	$message	= USR_MAIL_MESSAGE."\n".$activationlink;
	$headers	= "From: ".$from."\r\n";

	$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

	return $sent;
}

i feel like a doorknob....

 

I was looking in the wrong function this is register... I was looking in forgot password

 

Anyways.... the correct way to do this for anyone else is using html_entity_decode() after all.

 

	/**
 * Send activation mail to new registrant.
 * Returns boolean 'true' on success, or 'false' if the mail didn't get sent.
 */
function sendActivationMail($email = '')
{
	if (! empty($email))
	{
		if (!preg_match('/^[a-z]\w*(\.\w[a-z0-9-]*)*@\w[a-z0-9-]*(\.\w[a-z0-9-]*)*\.[a-z]{2,6}$/i', $email)) return false;
		$this->formFields['email']['value'] = $email;
	}

	$activationlink = ROOT_URL.'/register.php?activate='.md5($this->formFields['email']['value']);

	$from		= ADMIN_EMAIL;
	$to			= $this->formFields['email']['value'];
	$subject	= html_entity_decode(USR_MAIL_SUBJECT);
	$message	= html_entity_decode(USR_MAIL_MESSAGE)."\n".$activationlink;
	$headers	= "From: ".$from."\r\n";
	$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-type:text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";// More headers

	$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);		
	return $sent;
}
