Charsets

[vic3685]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm a bit puzzled by a contact form that is not working properly. I'm from Argentina, so we use accents and some other special characters, which are giving me a hard time.

 

Now I changed the charset to UTF-8, and here's what puzzles me: it works when it goes to my Hotmail account, but doesn't work when going to my client's account. I would say it's a mail server issue, not something with the form itself, do you agree? Is there a way around this?

 

I'd love to hear suggestions. Thank you for hour help!

 

Vicky

Anybody? Here's the code I'm using:

 

<?php

 

// Define your email address - where to send messages - here

define("MAIL_TARGET","[email protected]");

 

// Here you can redefine error messages

define("errorName","Nombre no valido");

define("errorEmail","Direccion de email no valida!");

define("errorMsg","Debe tener por lo menos 10 caracteres");

 

function createForm($name="",$email="",$message="",$error1="",$error2="",$error3=""){

?>

 

 

------------

<?php

}

 

function isValidEmail($email){

  $pattern = "^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$";

   

  if (eregi($pattern, $email)){

      return true;

  }

  else {

      return false;

  } 

}

 

function sendMail($name,$email,$message){

   

$subject = "contacto de pag web";

    $from    = "From: $name <$email>\r\nReply-To: $email\r\n";

    $header  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"."Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n";

    $content = htmlspecialchars($message);

        $content = wordwrap($content,70);

    mail(MAIL_TARGET,$subject,$content,$from.$header);

 

}

?>

                  <?php if (!isset($_POST['submitBtn']))  {

    createForm();

} else  {

      $name    = isset($_POST['name']) ? $_POST['name'] : "";

      $email  = isset($_POST['email']) ? $_POST['email'] : "";

      $message = isset($_POST['message']) ? $_POST['message'] : "";

     

      $error = false;

     

      if (strlen($name)<2) {

          $error = true;

          $error1 = errorName;

      }

      if (!isValidEmail($email)) {

          $error = true;

          $error2 = errorEmail;

      }

      if (strlen($message)<10) {

          $error = true;

          $error3 = errorMsg;

      }

   

      if ($error){

        createForm($name,$email,$message,$error1,$error2,$error3);

      }

      else {

          sendMail($name,$email,$message);

    ?>
