[SOLVED] no æ, ø, å in mail

[selbekk]

hey there..

 

i am making a mail script, and for some reason, I can't seem to show æ, ø and å (nordic letters) in my mails.. it just shows up as ø or Ã¥ and what not. I have some headers that makes it a html mail (see code for reference).

 

It works in the subject field, but not in the message.

 

I just want it to work 

<?php

$mail = stripslashes($_POST['mail']);
$name = stripslashes($_POST['name']);
$msg = stripslashes($_POST['message']);
$order = $_POST['order'];

$sentMsg = $order ."<br /> Melding: ". $msg;

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1; \r\n";
$headers .= "From: $name <$mail>" . "\r\n";

$send_the_mail = @mail("[email protected]", "Prisforespørsel fra Proffkort.no", $sentMsg, $headers) or die ("Kan ikke sende mail!");


echo $send_the_mail ? "Mail er sendt! <br />" : "Mail ble ikke sendt! <br />";

echo '<p><a href="javascript:window.opener=\'x\';window.close();">Klikk her for å lukke vinduet</a></p></body></html>';
?>

Those characters are unicode so you will need to handle that.

but it works everywhere else through php
