php mail special characters utf8

Question

I have the following script:

Answer 1

Did you try iconv_set_encoding ?

This should work :

<?php
 iconv_set_encoding("internal_encoding", "UTF-8");

$subject = "Testmail — Special Characters";
$msg = "Hi there,\n\nthis isn’t something easy.\n\nI haven’t thought that it’s that complicated!";

mail(utf8_decode($to), utf8_decode($subject), utf8_decode($msg), utf8_decode($from)."\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n");?>

Answer 2

Use ’ in place of the ’.

Example:

The dog’s bone.

Make sure you change the content-type from text/plain to text/html.
