Encoding...?

[eoran]

I have a php  document for an email form that works just fine, except that in the content of the email I receive, I get the accents replaced by question marks. I don't know why, I think the encoding is set as UTF 8... Any help will be strongly appreciated!!

 

Here's the php:

 

<?php 
if(isset($_POST["nombre"]) && isset($_POST["asunto"]) && isset($_POST["email"]) && isset($_POST["descripcion"]) ){ 
    $fecha = date("D-M-y H:i"); 
    $mymail = "[email protected]"; 
    $subject = $_POST["asunto"]."\n\n"; 
    $contenido .= "Nombre: ".$_POST["nombre"]."\n"; 
    $contenido .= "Matricula: ".$_POST["matricula"]."\n"; 
    $contenido .= "Licenciatura: ".$_POST["licenciatura"]."\n"; 
    $contenido .= "Descripción: ".$_POST["descripcion"]."\n"; 
    $contenido .= "Fecha: ".$fecha; 
    $header = "From:".$_POST["email"]."\nReply-To:".$_POST["email"]."\n"; 
    $header .= "X-Mailer:PHP/".phpversion()."\n"; 
    $header .= "Mime-Version: 1.0\n"; 
    $header .= "Content-type: text/plain"; 
    mail($mymail, $subject, utf8_decode($contenido) ,$header); 
    include "confirmacion.html"; 
} 
?>

$header .= "Content-type: text/plain;charset=utf-8'";

Still, this is what I get as my email content:

 

Nombre: Juan L?

Matricula: 1105016

Licenciatura: producci?nimal

Descripci?funcion?echa: Thu-Apr-07 13:41

 

Insteadof:

Nombre: Juan López

Matricula: 1105016

Licenciatura: producción animal

Descripción: funcionó?

Fecha: Thu-Apr-07 13:41

 

???

The form you are submitting to send it, you need to make sure the charset there is also UTF-8. If you are submitting in something other than utf-8 the characters will not coincide with each other.

Yes, my html form is also set in UTF-8...  ???

OK now I can see the accents but only for select menus... what the user writes in the input text field still isn't codified as UTF-8...
