Setting right charset should fix that.
What language are the emails?
I suggest using utf-8 for database & emails but if you do the text has to be utf-8 encoded.

:wacko:

:bashhead:

stupid thing still doesnt work. Ok can u answere me this. If i setup everything for utf-8 and than a user has in his email to show all emails in windows-1250, that means the info wont be shown correctly right? he has to use utf-8 to see čžš. There isnt a single charset like "superwins" that would show the same letters typed eather in windows-1250 or utf-8??

If you can't get it to work, you could try their html entity instead.

č - & #269; (268 for capital)
ž - & #382; (381 for capital)
š - & #353; (252 for capital)

Just make sure you take away the space between the & and #.

You should be able to use PHP to change them.

http://php.net/manua...tmlentities.php

Run through the user comments on that page. I'm sure you'll be able to piece together something of some use for doing that automatically.

ok thx,
i got this problem sorted out now

however a new problem appeared!

http://www.hurring.c...php/html_email/ <--- i fallowed this example to send email like html. charset and everything is set up in that code. it shows my čžš letters also. But when using this code, the emails i sent have in "from" line my servers email ...

my email code:

mail("$user[ur_mail]",$naziv,$msg_body,$headers);

and i put:

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=windows-1250\r\n";
$headers .= "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"style1.css\">";
$headers .= "From: $admin_email";

and this prints the right email address inside of each email in the body of html ... I need this "From: $admin_email"
to show in the from line of the email and not in the body :S

thx

$headers .= "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"style1.css\">";

HTML is not allowed inside the headers unlike html's <head> block.

I don't know a work around for this, but if you find one, you'll have to make sure the absoute path to your style sheet is used (that is assuming a link like that is possible inside e-mails).
