Hi,
I have some issues with my email -body when i send mails
I'm using php in my site.
My website is a spanish site , when ever i send a mail some special characters are comming in that mail.
Always there is an ! mark in that mail, that too in the same place
below is the code which i'm using and an email which i got.
Code
$domain=”http://international.com/”;
$subject = "Iinternational :Solicitud de cotización ";
$subject = mb_convert_encoding($subject, "UTF-8","AUTO");
$subject = mb_encode_mimeheader($subject);
