I have a strange issue with encoding, described as follows:
the ù is now shown as ù in the email subject. The email is sent through php mail function.
When viewing the e-mail in the mailbox, it is shown correctly. However, when anybody opens the e-mail, the ù is suddenly changed to ù.
Uw contact met Meeùs
should be
Uw contact met Meeùs
i have already used the encoding.
$emailsubject
contains the above mentioned email subject.
$subject=$emailsubject;
$subject=$emailsubject;
$email_message=new email_message_class;
$email_message->SetEncodedEmailHeader("To",$to_address,$to_name);
$email_message->SetEncodedEmailHeader("From",$from_address,$from_name);
$email_message->SetEncodedEmailHeader("Reply-To",$reply_address,$reply_name);
$email_message->SetHeader("Sender",$from_address);
$email_message->SetEncodedHeader("Subject",$subject,"UTF-8");
In localhost it is working properly, but in the webserver it is not working properly. In webserver also encoding is set to utf-8 by default.
What i am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
Your code is correct absolutely there is no error in it but its other things failing encoding. As I need message source headers and message to tell you exactly what is happening? I have further no information about are you sending the email as plain text or HTML. But there are generally two issue which are:
Missing Mime-Version
Reason for showing the character wrongly is developers forget to describe the message as MIME Version. if the message is missing the "Mime-Version" header that Internet mail standards require, Webmail will ignore the "charset" header completely, garbling the message unless it's already in the UTF-8 character set.
Showing Subject with Special Characters
As you want to show the subject with utf-8 encoding then you must encode the subject as:
If the above mentioned things doesn't resolve the problem then request you post the RAW Headers of the Email as it will help in better way to resolve issue.
