Hello
I’m new to PHP and I searched the web to come up with a code that collects several variables from flash MX and send’s then to a php script that presents them by e-mail.
When I use special characters in the form, the e-mail comes all strange.
I red some stuff in the web and saved the script as utf-8 from the notepad. Nevertheless, it still doesn’t work.
I’m very tired and desperate.
Help, please help.
Is there a quick way to make the e-mail presentable? And an easy way (I’m new to php, and I can’t learn it now).

I’m having a similar problem… my french html-encoded text won’t render leaving me with page titles like “français” though other encoding like &, will. I’m pulling it from a dB which runs both the HTML and the flash version… any ideas?

Hi
I just did it. I red in a forum and it worked for me - I’m using outlook express with western european encoding (or somethin - don’ know much about it, yet).
On your flash, put an action with
System.useCodePage = 1
It should solve the problem.
(Don’t forget to save the php as utf-8)
Best luck
