Multilanguage in PHP feedback forms

[silverphpt]

Hi,

When I send non-English text in PHP online feedback forms, it comes as garbage in email client.

The webpage has 'charset=UTF-8' so it gets & sends right text, the php script use right mail call as here:

mail($mailto, $subject, $message,
"From: \"$name\" <$email>\nReply-To: \"$name\" <$email>\nX-Mailer: chfeedback.php 2.01" );


Please advice how it can be fixed.
Thanks.

You probably need to set the correct language encoding in the SMTP message headers. It may be the "X-Accept-Language" header.

You might also poke around in the code for the PHPMailer SMTP class to see what's there: PHPMailer

You might also send yourself an email from a client set to use that language and see what headers are sent.

I setup additional header info in PHP mail() call like:

MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-type: text/html; charset=utf-8

It works, but all 'new line' characters are missing in comming email.
How can I fix it?

Thanks.

Newlines are ignored in HTML. Convert them to <br> tags.
