I'm trying send Japanese e-mail from a PHP web site. I am using mb_send_mail for this task. The back end is MySQL and the whole system is set up to use EUC-JP internally and SJIS for output. I have a form prepopulated with some suggested Japanese text, the user edits that, and the mail is sent.
The form fields are (1) e-mail subject, (2) sender name, (3) sender e-mail address, and (4) message body. The sender name is concatenated with an angle-bracketed version of the sender e-mail address (separated by a hankaku space) and used as the e-mail From field. The subject is used as the subject and the message body is the message body. No problems with the subject and the message body. The sender (the >From line) however is bakemoji. I tried using mb_convert_encoding and converting to ISO-2022-JP and got very weird results, almost all of the kanji went through okay, but the number of characters were increased and the extra characters were bakemoji. Shouldn't mb_send_mail just be taking care of everything, or do I need to be doing something to prepare text for it? Is there a problem with concatenating the kanji name and the ASCII email address? Is there any way the kanji name could be in a different encoding than the subject and message body, even though it comes from the same form? How can I troubleshoot this? If the From line is bakemoji, is there a risk that the Subject and message body will be bakemoji in some mail readers? Any help appreciated. -- PHP Internationalization Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
