Hello, on 12/31/2005 03:11 PM Jean-Philippe BATTU said the following:
I would like to send email from my php program. So I use the mail() function from php engine but I noticed that the accentuated characters were not well transmitted by php or the apache server (I use a linux box with FC4 and httpd server). In the phpinfo function, I saw the LANG environnement variable was set to en_US...., so I fixed it to fr_FR.... in the system file /etc/sysconfig/18n and reboot the machine, phpinfo gave me the correct french LANG. The result is still the same the apache server gave me incorrect languages in server-info, so I corrected the DefautLanguage directive and Priority Languages directives in the httpd.conf file. Restart apache and server-info gave me correct information, but the result is still the same. I am in trouble, because the mutt linux program send well the accentuated characters. I studied the difference between two mails, from mute and from php, and apparently the order definition after the Date aren't the same. I tried to use the phpmailer class, but the problem persists. I use php 4.3.10 The workaround I found is to use the mutt command from php by the system function, but it is a pity ! Do you know this problem ?
You need to use ISO-8859-1 characters set and q-encoding for using 8 bit characters in the headers and quoted-printable in the body.
This is not so simple. You may want to try the MIME message class for composing and sending messages that even comes with an example of how to send messages with accents in the subject header and the body:
