sending by email (flash form & php) INTERNATIONAL CHARACTERS

[xirika]

hi!

I do have a big problem! :)

I made a flash form to send variables by a php file for my mail..the fact is that when i receive the mail characters lik "ç ã é" and so on are all messed up!

this is what i have in flash:

1. imput textfields with several variables, and i already choosed all kind of latin characters, and it isn´t working!
2. the code for the send button is:

on (release) {
if (!from.length || from.indexOf("@") == -1 || from.indexOf(".") == -1) {
status = "Insere um email válido!";
} else if (!nome.length) {
status = "Digita o teu nome próprio!";
} else if (!apelido.length) {
status = "Digita o teu
(...allvariables...)
} else {
lineAdapt();
loadVariablesNum("mail.php3", 5, "POST");
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}

3.and the code in same frame is:

subject = "beAmodel | nova inscrição";
message_send = "Inscrição";
stop();
function lineAdapt() {
message_send = message;
nome = "Nome: "+nome;
apelido = "Apelido: "+apelido;
tel = "Tel: "+tel;
telm = "Telm: "+telm;
from = "Email: "+from;
morada = "Morada: "+morada;
localidade = "Localidade: "+localidade;
cod_postal = "Código Postal: "+cod_postal+" - "+cod_postal2;
data_nascimento = "Data de nascimento: "+data_nascimento;
altura = "Altura: "+altura;
obs = "Obs: "+obs;
nome_ee = "Nome do Encarregado de Educação: "+nome_ee;
contacto_ee = "Contacto do Encarregado de Educação: "+contacto_ee;
while (msg_count<length(message)) {
msg_count = msg_count+1;
if ((substring(message_send, msg_count, 2)) eq "\r") {
message_send = (substring(message_send, 1, msg_count-2)) add "\n" add (substring(message_send, msg_count+2, (length(message_send))-msg_count+2));
}
}
message = message_send+"\n"+nome+"\n"+apelido+"\n"+"\n"+tel+"\n"+telm+"\n"+from+"\n"+morada+"\n"+localidade+"\n"+cod_postal+"\n"+"\n"+data_nascimento+"\n"+altura+"\n"+"\n"+obs+"\n"+"\n"+nome_ee+"\n"+contacto_ee;
delete msg_count;
delete message_send;
}

and this is working! I still don´t know if the problem is in flash or in the php file..


and this what i have in "mail.php3":

<?php
mail("xirika@hotmail.com", $subject, $message, "From: beAgency\nReply-To: $from\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
?>

I already tried to save the php file in dreamweaver encoded in UTF-8 but it didin´t worked, actuyally the mail never came!!

what should I do??

Thank u for reading, if u know ssomething about it...i apreciate!! ;)

convert the characters to html entities if possible. (but only in the message area)

[ScriptFlipper]

doesn't
System.useCodepage = true work?

[ScriptFlipper]

or use escape() and unescape() on your strings.

[xirika]

well kalliban, the code

System.useCodepage = true

solved my problem in one way:
it does send the international charecters, the problem is that they appeared to be all right but:

for eg... "coração" it's like "coraçao"

get it?! :/

humm....i don't have any strings....

and I do not have, for sure, a 17'' Powerbook ;)


thankx

hehe... don't worry, the powerbook I can manage on my own..

well, I meant vars, not string... sorry. even though, the vars are strings...
