Hi guys,

I need some help with a simple contact form that I found on the web (just some swedish words in there that I replaced). I need to use the characters å,ö,ä - but they won’t show up properly in the email that’s sent from the form. I’m a newbe …or really don’t know anything 🙂 on php and would really appreciate your help.

Thanx in advance!

The php - code:  
\<?

}

$to = "nuelab@telia.com";  
$msg .= "$name

";  
$msg .= "$message

";  
$msg .= "$tel

";

mail($to, $subject, $msg, "From: My web site  
Reply-To: $email  
");

?\>
