Hi all,
I need to mail() emails with user input that does contain non-ascii
(umlauts, accents) and non-latin (cyrillic) characters in the
"Subject:" and "From:" headers. I understand that they are typically
encoded in UTF8 like this:
=?UTF-8?B?w5Z0emkg0J/RgNC40LLQtdGC?=
but I cannot find a PHP function to encode the input string in this
way. utf8_encode gives me garbled char soup, so what do you use?
Thanks. 4 17596

Ah well, bad thinking on my part.
Instead of utf8_encode I need base64_encode, of course (as the "...?
B?..." in the code tells me). So this:
$from = "From: =?UTF-8?B?" . base64_encode($ _POST['name']) . "?= <" . $
$_POST['email'] . ">\n";
produces a correctly encoded header. Same for subject.
Hope it helps someone.

Was it?
Not really.
Encoding/charsets/headers/content-type/UTF/unicode/etc ALWAYS gives me a
headache. :-/
Confusing stuff, especially when you have to consider a whole range of
receiving clients (different browsers, emailclients, etc).

For completeness, allow me to point out that you can also use
quoted-printable encoding here (you'd use =?utf-8?Q? instead of ...?B?).
Quoted-printable encoding has the "advantage" that ASCII characters survive
unchanged, so if there are ASCII words, they can be read even in their
encoded form.
On the other hand, strings with many non-ASCII characters grow more in
quoted-printable than in base64. Plus, there is no
"quoted_printab le_encode" in the standard library, although sources are
available.

That is binary q-encoding. It is not quoted-printable but it is similar
for message headers. There is a whole RFC on that subject.
Yoy may want to try the MIME message that can be used to compose and
send messages and supports headers with non-ASCII characters encoded as
UTF-8 or any other encoding.
Take a look at the test_multibyte_ message.php example script. It
explains how to send messages in Japanese with encoding ISO-2022-JP, but
you can change that for UTF-8 to support characters of all idioms. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage

Adding "?" after the qualifier makes it perform the match in non-greedy or

the regular expression module fails to perform non-greedy matches as

hi,
recently i discovered a memory leak in our code; after some investigation i
could reduce it to the following problem:
return objects of functions are handled as temporary objects, hence their
dtor is called immediately and not at the end of the function. to be able to
use return objects (to avoid copying) i often assign them to a const
reference.
now, casting a const return object from a function to a non-const reference
