[FX.php List] Trying to send email with lots of accented letters

[Glenn Singleton]

Bob,

 

I would send the content of the email as an attachment, say a PDF using the
PHP PDF functions.

 

This would then be sure to send whatever is entered, no matter the encoding.

Subject: [FX.php List] Trying to send email with lots of accented letters

 

I have a French client who's asked me to write a script for sending an email
containing the results of various queries. So far so good...

 

Except that when a word has accented letters, it comes out like this:

 

Tache: Rough électricité (confirmé)

 

... instead of looking like this:

 

Tache: Rough Rough électricité (confirmé)

 

I've already put the following META tag into the page that assembles the
email text

 

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

 

... but I'm getting that ugly text above.

 

Is there a PHP command that would fix this, or should I look elsewhere?

 

Thanks,

 

Bob Patin
