[thelist] PHP Mail and   ç é ê é

[charles stuart]

Hi,

I'm implementing a simple contact form with PHP (code below). It's for 
a business that works with french speakers, so it needs to properly 
handle special characters.

When these characters are sent: Â Â ç é ê é

The email sent displays them as such: Â Â ç é ê é

Thanks for any help.


best,

Charles

             $name 					= stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['name']));
             $email 				= stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['email']));
             $text 					= stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['text']));

			if ($name != "" && $email != ""  && $text != "")
				
			{
             	
             	$message = "$name ($email) has contacted you via the 
website.\n\n$text";

             	mail("someone at enure.net", "Contact via the website", 
$message);
