Hey Guys,

i have a little problem here: On my flashsite i have a few input-textfields. The inputText is sent to a PHP script, which in turn forwards the text as am email. The PHP-document is encoded with iso-8859-1 (since i´m here in germany). Now, while the part of the message, which is automatically added in the PHP-script does display all special characters like ö,ä etc., the text which comes from flash doesn´t display these charcters right in the email.  
I hope i´m explainig myself well…  
What might be the problem here?

Thanks,  
j
