Chinese displayed as gibberish
To correctly display Chinese, 4 things should be done –
1. When creating the database, Chinese should be defined –
create database dbsettle character set 'gbk' collate 'gbk_chinese_ci';
use dbsettle;
2. On the web page, in the header section, Chinese should be defined –
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="charset=gbk" />
3. In the programme code, after having connected to the database, Chinese should be defined –
mysql_select_db("dbsettle",$db);
mysql_query("set names gbk", $db);
4. In the sending email section of the code, content type should be defined –
// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=gbk" . "\r\n";
// More headers
$headers .= 'From: xxxx@cicscanada.com' . "\r\n";
// $headers .= 'Cc: myboss@example.com' . "\r\n";
// send mail
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)
If all the above is done, then Chinese will correctly be displayed in the email.
