[SOLVED] Different encoding with mail()

[budimir]

Hey guys,

 

Does anyone know how to change encoding when sending email with mail(). I'm from Croatia and we have some special characters. My pages display everything OK, but when I send an email with these special chaaracters I get some strange things.

 

This is my code:

<?php
// Podaci za email poruku
$to = "xx@xx.hr";
$subject = "Obavijest o reklamaciji br. XXX";
$poruka = "Ovo je obavijest o zaprimljenoj, obrađenoj i odobrenoj reklamaciji broj XXXX. Dijelovi će biti danas poslani i možete ih očekivati kroz nekoliko dana";

// Postavke email protokola
      ini_set('SMTP', 'server');
      ini_set('smtp_port', 25);

// Slanje emaila
if(mail($to,$subject,$poruka,"FROM: xx@xx.hr")){
echo "Poruka je uspješno poslana na @xx.hr!";
} else {
echo "Poruka nije poslana!";
}
?>

 

The result I'm getting is something you can see on the screen!!

 

Does anyone know why is this happening and how to change it???

 

I really don't know what to do ... I tried everything I new ...

$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\r\n";

 

Of course you need to change to charset to what you need...should work that way.

 

PS: you also need to include the $headers in your mail function

Still not working, I tried that before. It's like it's ignoring the encoding.

 

<?php
// Podaci za email poruku
$to = "budimir.skrtic@drezga.hr";
$subject = "Obavijest o reklamaciji br. XXX";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\r\n";
$poruka = "Ovo je obavijest o zaprimljenoj, obrađenoj i odobrenoj reklamaciji broj XXXX. Dijelovi će biti danas poslani i možete ih očekivati kroz nekoliko dana";

// Postavke email protokola
      ini_set('SMTP', 'server');
      ini_set('smtp_port', 25);

// Slanje emaila
if(mail($to,$subject,$poruka,"FROM: servis@drezga.hr",$headers)){
echo "Poruka je uspješno poslana na @drezga.hr!";
} else {
echo "Poruka nije poslana!";
}
?>

 

Any more ideas??? It's killing me.

 

I don't understand what's wrong. I have tried diferrent encoding types and nothing worked...  ???

Sorry, my bad...it doesn't give you an error ? you need to remove the dot...

$headers = "...............

 

Also you need to find out which character set supports your extra chars....maybe it's not utf8.....

[budimir]

OK,

 

So here is the problem:

 

When I try to echo the message which I'm trying to send in the email, it looks OK.

 

When I send the email, the message is all messed up.

 

The encoding I'm using is UTF-8 and it works perfectly, but it does not apply to the email message.

 

Any ideas???

I got it.

 

Thanks for your effort.
