＆符号在php邮件“FROM”标题

Question

OK, I am stumped. I have a client with an ampersand in the company name. Like "Bill & Bob Associates". So, I have a from line like:

 $headers  = "From: Bill & Bob Associates, LLC <[e-mail]>
";

The & is breaking the from in the email like such;

From: [e-mail],
&@host.webhost.com, [e-mail],
LLC <[e-mail]>

Tried %26 and that did not work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

could be like :

$headers = "From: ". mb_encode_mimeheader('Bill & Bob Associates, LLC', 'UTF-8', 'Q') ." <[e-mail]> ";

or you could try:

$headers = "From: =?UTF-8?B?". base64_encode('Bill & Bob Associates, LLC') ."?= <[e-mail]> "
