Show your code. What isn't encoded properly?

[paitoon]

this is some part in my AJAX:

 
  var params = "sender=" + encodeURIComponent(document.iform.sender.value)+
    "&email=" + encodeURIComponent(document.iform.email.value)+
    "&subject=" + encodeURIComponent(document.iform.subject.value)+
    "&text=" + encodeURIComponent(document.iform.text.value);
 
 
xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject()  
var url="process.php"
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=myResult; 
open("POST",url,true)
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
xmlHttp.send(params)
 
 
 
 

AND THIS IS MY PHP PAGE TO SEND MAIL
[php]<?php
$recipient = '[e-mail]';
$params = $_POST['params'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$from = $_POST['sender']; // variable SENDER from ajax
$email = $_POST['email'];
$text= $_POST['text'];
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$msg = "From: $from\n Email: $email \n IP Adrress :$ip \n\n Message: $text";
mail($recipient, $subject, $msg);

?>[/php]

Everything worked good in hotmail, gmail, yahoo But not in web-mail or POP3 program.


Please tell me what should i do.
thanks a lot

Can you send to a POP3 account without using Ajax?

[paitoon]

Actually yes, But I just want to know if it's possible or what is this problem etc..
Because it's work fine on normail mail but why it doesn't work with web-mail or pop3 ?
actually i was happy after i made everything hard finish and i use the time for this for a month (so hard) but a few days ago i opened it in web-mail and POP3 program it's disappoint me in the end my problem is not really gone...:-/

I did not expect that my site should be 100 % perfect but....i just wonder why ? I also tried to send email from my hotmail to that web-mail in thai language...everything is encoded and it's great work without going to VIEW and choose ENCODE on windows.

This is why i still stress and wonder how hotmail and other normal mail do, and why couldn't I.


But thank you so much at least U lead the way :-)

So the text of the email is in Thai?

Have you set the correct headers/charsets? If, in PHP, you send email to the POP3/web-mail account using the mail function with Thai characters, does it send/receive OK?

[paitoon]

eventually i got it,
1. the reason that email not encoded in POP3 program that because i have to set the default encoded in the program to be UTF-8 (before it's western europe)
2. the reason that it's not encoded in web-mail (they use squrrel mail) because they just told me that they are not support asian langage.

Well, i got stress but got much more experiance. And i hope it will be the useful for other people also.

But i still wonder why gmail can do? I send message in Thai language to that POP3 and it's encoded correctly without setting anything.?Because gmail also use ajax.....

Thanks alot for all your help

You can set the header using setRequestHeader, so it must be set to UTF-8.

[paitoon]

So you means in javascript ?'

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

i did it but it make email not work.

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-uutf-8');

[paitoon]

But it ok....i give up
thank you so much

I meant something like:

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; Charset=utf-8");
