mbstring

Post by bboybenny »

I have a problem with using mbstring functions in my "online forms".

I created a online form for users to input multibyte charactors and email to me. However only using the mail() function, the variables containing the user input are messed up inside the email, while other multibyte charactors I have hard coded in are fine.

Then I tried to use the mb_send_mail() function, but my web hosting server are not willing to enable the "mbstring".

Please can any body help me with this problem? any work around to solve this problem without --enable-mbstring in the php.ini?

Thanks

Are the pages encoded in multi-byte or UTF8?

It may be a good idea to look into an emailing library such as Swift.
