spanish and french characters in email

[nwrfoto]

I have a simple mail script which contains text from a database which is stored using htmlentities()

 

i.e. the letter á is stored as á

 

so i need to send this text in an email and have it formatted correctly.

 

i've tried various combinations of text and html mails with no luck.

 

can anyone help?

You could either make sure you are sending the e-mail as HTML, by adding the correct headers, something like..

 

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf8\r\n"; 

 

Or you could try using html_entity_decode.
