I try to use PHPMailer to send registration, activation. etc mail to users:
require("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail -> charSet = "UTF-8";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "smtp.mydomain.org";
$mail->From = "[email protected]";
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username ="username";
$mail->Password="passw";
//$mail->FromName = $header;
$mail->FromName = mb_convert_encoding($header, "UTF-8", "auto");
$mail->AddAddress($emladd);
$mail->AddAddress("[email protected]");
$mail->AddBCC('[email protected]', 'firstadd');
$mail->Subject = $sub;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo 'Message was not sent.';
echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
The $message contains latin characters. Unfortunately all webmail (gmail, webmail.mydomain.org, emailaddress.domain.xx) is using a different coding.
How can I force to use UTF-8 coding to show my mail exactly the same on all mailboxes?
I tried to convert the mail header width mb_convert_encoding(), but without luck.
If you are 100% sure $message contain ISO-8859-1 you can use utf8_encode as David says. Otherwise use mb_detect_encoding and mb_convert_encoding on $message.
Also take note that
$mail -> charSet = "UTF-8";
Should be replaced by:
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
And placed after the instantiation of the class (after the new). The properties are case sensitive! See the PHPMailer doc fot the list & exact spelling.
Also the default encoding of PHPMailer is 8bit which can be problematic with UTF-8 data. To fix this you can do:
$mail->Encoding = 'base64';
Take note that 'quoted-printable' would probably work too in these cases (and maybe even 'binary'). For more details you can read RFC1341 - Content-Transfer-Encoding Header Field.
