| Post subject: | Email garbled... |
Hi all. So I am sending mail from a PHP application, and I have an issue where the email comes out garbled if the recepient is using a forwarding service, such as GoDaddy, etc. I am going to follow-up with them to see if it is an issue on their end, but before getting the run-around, I'd like to see if this is an issue that someone else may have encountered. I am using mb_send_mail() with the following headers: "From: \"webmaster@example.com\" <webmaster@example.com>\r\nReply-To: \"Webmaster\" <webmaster@example.com>\r\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" Instead of getting this message: "Test email" this is what is received <snip> - base64 content |

Well, that's base64-encoded. Python, king of all programming languages on Earth wrote: >>> a="RlJPTTogUGF1bCBNZ......="
>>> import base64 >>> base64.b64decode(a) 'FROM: xxxx\r\n\r\nEMAIL: xxxx\r\n\r\nMESSAGE:\r\n\r\nTesting this feature' PHP appears to be base64-encoding the e-mail and whatever is receiving isn't reading it correctly (or PHP isn't sending it correctly). Couldn't tell you how to fix it, but now you know what to Google. |

Can you remove the decoded content from your post? Prefer not to have name and email in the wild for spammers. Paul edit by jed: done, sorry. |

Thanks for the insight guys. Anyone else have any ideas why emails that get forwarded via a service like GoDaddy would be arriving in base64 encoded format? Thanks! |

mb_send_mail() calls mb_language; thus as a wild stab in the dark I'd say that you're defaulting to uni (and hence UTF-8/Base64 encoding). You could either explicitly set the language to English (and have your emails from mb_send_mail sent as quoted-printable); or just use plain old mail(). |

Adding in the mb_language('en') call did the trick. We are using multi-byte for future friendly expansion, if and when we move to supporting more languages, etc. Thanks for the pointer! Paul |
