Daniel0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Try UTF-8 instead. That might work. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33398-cant-see-specail-chars-%C3%A6%C3%B8%C3%A5-in-my-php-mails/#findComment-156161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloshire1 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Email programs can have difficulty reading special characters. Try using the html character codes for the special characters instead. You would have to look them up because they are not exactly human friendly, but they can look something like this:‡Hope this is what you are looking for, Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33398-cant-see-specail-chars-%C3%A6%C3%B8%C3%A5-in-my-php-mails/#findComment-156164 Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Don't think utf-8 will work on those, try[code]<?php$text = str_replace(array("Æ","æ","Ø","ø","Å","å"),array("& # 198;","& # 230;","& # 216;","& # 248;","& # 197;","& # 229;"),$text);?>[/code]*EDIT* some problems getting them visually right displayed in this board... Remove the spaces in the code between "& # foo" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/33398-cant-see-specail-chars-%C3%A6%C3%B8%C3%A5-in-my-php-mails/#findComment-156183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
