"send email" sends symbols instead of accent marks

[RyanSF07]

Hi All,

 

I've been using a simple, plain text, "Send Email" script to let me know when a new member has registered on the site.

 

Recently people with accent marks in their names have been registering, but in place of the accent marks I see unrecognizable symbols.

 

I did some googling and found out that I should add something like:

"Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8" to the header.

 

That didn't fix it..

 

Any ideas?

 

$recep = "me@yahoo.com";
		$subject = "New Member";
		$text = "'$_POST[first_name]', '$_POST[last_name]', '$_POST[user_name]',
			'$_POST[email]', '$_POST[link]', 
		$headers =
		"X-Mailer: PHP\n" .
		"Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8" .
		"Reply-to: me@yahoo.com\n";
		mail($recep,$subject,$text,$headers);

 

All help appreciated.

Thank you,

Ryan

<?php

text = trim(strip_tags(array($_POST[first_name], $_POST[last_name], $_POST[user_name],
			$_POST[email], $_POST[link])));?>

This is the email notice I use, it works good:

( I stripslash the variables first)

 

 

$headers2="Cc: myemail@hearts.org";	
$headers3="Bcc: thisperson@hotmail.com";		
$headers3.=", thisotherperson@hotmail.com";

$mymessage="Dear Admins, <ul><BR>
$fname $lname has just registered<br>
From $address $city $state $zip<br>
$useremail<BR><BR></ul>";

$from="myemail@hearts.org";
$mysubject="New User added";
$to="webmaster@hearts.org";
$subject = $mysubject;
$message=$mymessage;
$headers1= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers1.= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1; Content-type: image/jpg' . "\r\n";
$headers='From: ' . $fromemail . "\r\n";
$headers.=$headers1 . $headers2 . "\r\n";  
$headers.=$headers3 . "\r\n";  
//Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
