Hello
I have a problem sending e-mails using PHP and a text area as the input
field, some characters are been changed in IE6/7 but not FireFox, is there a
workaround for this?
Tm Personl (note the and ) is coming through as Tîm Personèl
Here is a cut down PHP script followed by the form testmessageform.php code:
<?php
$AIS_FORM_TEMPLATE = 'testmessageform.php'; // Form footer name
$AIS_FORM_REDIRECTONCOMPLETION = 'reqsent.php'; // Form to display when
all okay
$AIS_DISPLAY = false;
$JOBTITLE = $_REQUEST["jobtitle"]; // set to a mandatory field of the
form to ascertain if already displayed
if (!isset($JOBTITLE)) {
$AIS_DISPLAY = true;
// Set form defaults here
} else {
$JOBTITLE = $_REQUEST["jobtitle"];
$MESSAGE = stripslashes($_REQUEST["message"]);
// Form Validation Routines go here.
$AIS_ERROR = '';
if (empty($JOBTITLE)) {
$AIS_ERROR = $AIS_ERROR . "Please enter a value for
jobtitle.<br><br>";
}
$AIS_DISPLAY = $AIS_ERROR <> '';
}
if ($AIS_DISPLAY==true) { // Either first display or validation
errors.
header( "Expires: Mon, 20 Dec 1998 01:00:00 GMT" );
header( "Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT" );
header( "Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate" );
header( "Pragma: no-cache" );
if (!$AIS_ERROR=="") { // There are validation errors, display at head
of form
?>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.formerrors h2 {color: #FF0000;}
.formerrors {font-size: 14px; color: #FF0000; font-weight:
bold;position:relative;}
.formerrors2 {padding-left:20px;}
-->
</style>
<Div class="formerrors">
<h2>Please correct the following errors:</h2>
<Div class="formerrors2">
<?php echo $AIS_ERROR ?>
</div>
</Div>
<?php
}
include($AIS_FORM_TEMPLATE);
} else { // The form is complete and valid at this point so do action!
$AIS_MAILTO = 'my_email@address.com';
$AIS_MESSAGE = 'E-mail title'.
"\n".
'============'.
"\n".
"\nJob Title ".$JOBTITLE.
"\nJob Description Welsh\n".$MESSAGE.
"\n";
mail($AIS_MAILTO, "Subject goes here",
$AIS_MESSAGE, "From: $EMAIL" );
header("Location: ".$AIS_FORM_REDIRECTONCOMPLETION);
}
?>
