Zend_Mail does not check for the correct character set of the mail
parts. When instantiating Zend_Mail, a charset for the e-mail itself
may be given. It defaults to iso-8859-1. The application has to make
sure that all parts added to that mail object have their content encoded in the correct
character set. When creating a new mail part, a different charset can be given for each
part.
Only in text format
Character sets are only applicable for message parts in text format.
Ejemplo 576. Usage in CJK languages
The following example is how to use Zend_Mail in Japanese. This
is one of CJK (aka CJKV ) languages. If you use
Chinese, you may use HZ-GB-2312 instead of
ISO-2022-JP.
//We suppose that character encoding of strings is UTF-8 on PHP script.
function myConvert($string) {
return mb_convert_encoding($string, 'ISO-2022-JP', 'UTF-8');
}
$mail = new Zend_Mail('ISO-2022-JP');
// In this case, you can use ENCODING_7BIT
// because the ISO-2022-JP does not use MSB.
$mail->setBodyText(
myConvert('This is the text of the mail.'),
null,
Zend_Mime::ENCODING_7BIT
);
$mail->setHeaderEncoding(Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64);
$mail->setFrom('somebody@example.com', myConvert('Some Sender'));
$mail->addTo('somebody_else@example.com', myConvert('Some Recipient'));
$mail->setSubject(myConvert('TestSubject'));
$mail->send();
