When sending an e-mail through my mail script I recently wrote I have noticed that some of the characters don't come up correctly. For example the £ symbol comes up as a ? . Does anyone know of a way around this. I am already using strip_slashes() to sort out the \ thing PHP does the arguments sent to mail(), but is there another thing needed to sort this problem?

Something to do with the character sets, try chr function, £ sign being 163.

The problem is this is a script which the user types in a message into a form and it e-mails that message to the whole group using send(). I guess I could write a script that used that function though. If they were set messages then it would be easier...

IIRC, search google for 'htmlentites' - should convert problem characters to their HTML version (ie. £ to £ )

you need to add something like "text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1" to the content-type header
