Re: [PHP] SMTP and changing the character set

[Todd Cary]

Thank you both for the help.  One more question: can SMPT use the Asian 
character set since it is 16 bits?

Todd,


Is there a way to specify a character set in a SMTP email?


I've found that SMTP is really, really very particular about how you
apply spacing and carriage returns when passing a content type header
from PHP. In the PHP mail() function, you want to add the content type
header like so:
<?php
$contentType = " \r\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8";
mail($toaddress, $subject, $mailcontent, $contentType);
?>
In particular, take note of the space before \r\n. Without it, the
content type header would not work. I had to do a lot of experimenting
before I discovered this. You may have to some experimenting as well, as
I'm not sure if all servers behave the same on this issue.
Hope that helps.
