Sending UTF encoded mail

[krigbert]

I'm using a simple form to allow users to send emails through flash. The problem is, that the emails need to be unicode, as the site is Norwegian. The form is in flash, but I don't think that's where the problem is (the flash manual says "By default, Flash Player 7 and later assumes that all text it encounters is Unicode encoded")

So I'm wondering if the php mail() function does the same.

it is agnostic to whatever you throw at it. ensure that you send the right content headers to specify utf (and that the clients support it)

I'm very much a n00b, though - so I wouldn't know how to do that. My script for the mail is as simple as:

mail($toAddy, $subject, $message, "From: $navn\nReply-To: $from\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

How do I add encoding to that? Is it just an argument like "encoding: UTF16"?

Hup! Never mind, all I had to do was add the line "declare(encoding = 'utf-8');" at the beginning of the file. Thanks for answering, though

...Or at least it worked when I sendt a message with the script to myself.... When someone else tried it, it didn't work - but sending messages with weird characters to him with Gmail does work.

WTF, as they say on the internets :|
