phpmailerHow can I send a UTF-8 encoded email using PHPMailer?
Sending a UTF-8 encoded email using PHPMailer is easy. First, you need to create a new instance of the PHPMailer class:
$mail = new PHPMailer;
Then, you need to set the encoding to UTF-8:
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
You can then set the other parameters, such as the sender and recipient address, subject and body of the email:
$mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'Sender Name');
$mail->addAddress('[email protected]', 'Recipient Name');
$mail->Subject = 'UTF-8 encoded email';
$mail->Body = 'This is a UTF-8 encoded email.';
Finally, you can send the email:
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
Output example
Message has been sent
