通过PHP发送电子邮件，英镑符号

Question

I need to send emails using PHP's mail() function. The code I am using is this:

$email_message = chunk_split(base64_encode($email_message));
$headers = "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

";
mail($to, $subject, $email_message, $headers);

There is a pound sterling symbol in the email which is not handled properly, i.e. recipient receives incorrect symbol. As its to do with character encoding and I am not sure how to set it to tell the email client how the characters are being encoded and how to deal with the pound symbol correctly. Can this information be put in the headers?

Answer 1

Are you correctly setting the encoding on the email? This is done by setting

'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'

in the message's headers.
