mb_send_mail problem

[arnb]

I'm attempting to internationalize my online web contact form, it's the last part of my conversion to UTF-8 encoding. MySql and web pages that don't send email work fine. My test contact form uses UTF-8 encoding.

 

Using mb-send_mail seems to work great with European characters, but when I give it some of what I think is Chinese, it produces what looks like (to me) UTF-8 code but is missing some of the encoding, so it shows up as junk. Hmm-I noticed this page is encoded in iso-8859-1 so the "Chinese" source won't show, but I can show the result and perhaps the European (not sure German/Dutch?) source. BTW when I send this stuff with Gmail it works. Please don't ask me what any of the non-english language means, I'm just using it to test.

 

Any advice on how to fix this is appreciated.

 

Thank You

Arn

 

Code snippet

mb_language("uni"); // set UTF-8 language for mb_send_mail command

if (!@mb_send_mail("xxx@xxx.xxx", $subject, $notes, $hdrs))
