Arabic text comes "????" when mailed using Flash contact form. y?
Hi There, the guru's of Flash -
I have this pros with flash sending arabic text from a flash contact form using php to my mailid. The arabic part comes ????? while the english part comes really fine. Can any one help me with this? I ran all over the web for this but it just dint work out fine..
here goes my flash code -
// Loading Variables and Settings
stop();
error_clip._alpha = 0;
System.useCodepage = true;
send_btn.onRelease = function() {
my_vars = new LoadVars();
my_vars.namex = name_txt.text;
my_vars.email = email_txt.text;
my_vars.msg = msg_txt.text;
// If text fields are not blank the message will be sent
if (my_vars.namex != "" and my_vars.email != "" and my_vars.msg != "") {
my_vars.sendAndLoad("send_mail.php",my_vars,"POST");
gotoAndStop(2);
// Else if text fields are blank a warning message will appear
} else {
error_clip._alpha = 100;
}
// After the message is sent the user will be redirected to frame 3
my_vars.onLoad = function() {
gotoAndStop(3);
};
};
// If you click on another field "All Fields Required" will dissapear
name_txt.onSetFocus = email_txt.onSetFocus=msg_txt.onSetFocus=function () {
if (error_clip._alpha != 0) {
error_clip._alpha = 0;
}
};
clr_btn.onPress = function() {
msg_txt.text = "";
};
And here is the PHP part -
<?php
// Loading Variables
$name = $_REQUEST["namex"] . "\n\n";
$email = $_REQUEST["email"];
$message = $_REQUEST["msg"] . "\n\n";
// The \n character means New Line
// Mixing all variables, including IP
$full_message ="From ".$name.", ".$email." ".$message;
// Remove the backslashes that appears when entering characters like " or '
//$name = stripslashes($name);
//$email = stripslashes($email);
//$message = stripslashes($message);
$subject = "Tell Me!!";
$from = $name;
$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "CC: dummyid@dummyclient.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8";
$body = $full_message;
/*$body = "<html><head><title>Untitled Document</title><meta http-equiv=Content-Type content='text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'></head><table width=440 border=0 align=center cellpadding=6 cellspacing=1 bgcolor=#000000> <tr bgcolor=#000000><td colspan=2 nowrap><font color=#FFFFFF size=2 face='MS Sans Serif'><B>ONLINE FEEDBACK</B></font></td> </tr>";
$body .= "<tr bgcolor=#FFFFFF><td width=32% nowrap><font size=2 face='MS Sans Serif'>Name<font size=1>:</font></font></td> <td width='68%'><font size=2 face='MS Sans Serif'><B>" . $name . "</B></font></td></tr>";
$body .= "<tr bgcolor=#FFFFFF><td width=32% nowrap><font size=2 face='MS Sans Serif'>E-mail/Website</font></td><td><font size=2 face='MS Sans Serif'><B>" . $email . "</B></font></td></tr>";
$body .= "<tr bgcolor=#FFFFFF><td width=32% nowrap><font size=2 face='MS Sans Serif'>Message</font></td><td><font size=2 face='MS Sans Serif'><B>" . $message . "</B></font></td></tr>";
$body .= "<tr><td nowrap valign=top> </td><td> </td></tr></table></body></html>";*/
// Sending the mail
// Note: Don't forget to change "your@email.com" to receive the mail from contact form
mail("themailichecked@theclient.com", $subject, $body, $headers);
?>
