php utf8 encoding

Question

i am connecting to a third part tool using soap api. it accepts only utf8 encoding for the message.

sometimes I have special characters like “ and apostrophe . which function best removes it or replaces with the equivalent in php . I am using after setting

ini_set('default_charset', 'UTF-8');

function mail_utf8($message) {
    return $message;
}

I am also running the string through urlencode and urldecode functions.

Answer 1

Use this

<?php
 $headers   = array();
 $headers[] = "MIME-Version: 1.0";
 $headers[] = "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1";
 $headers[] = "From: Sender Name <sender@domain.com>";
 $headers[] = "Bcc: JJ Chong <bcc@domain2.com>";
 $headers[] = "Reply-To: Recipient Name <receiver@domain3.com>";
 $headers[] = "Subject: {$subject}";
 $headers[] = "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $email, implode("\r\n", $headers));
 ?>

您可以使用以下代码删除无效的UTF-8字符：

$text = iconv("UTF-8","UTF-8//IGNORE",$text);
