Character Sets
Zend\Mail\Message
assumes a default ASCII character set, and headers and
content are quoted accordingly. If you wish to specify alternate characters
sets, you will need to:
- Notify the
Message
instance of the desired character-set encoding, to ensure headers are encoded correctly. - Set an appropriate
Content-Type
header. - In multipart messages, set the character set per-part.
Only in text format
Character sets are only applicable for message parts in text format.
Example
The following example is how to use Zend\Mail\Message
to send a message in
Japanese.
use Zend\Mail\Message;
use Zend\Mime\Message as MimeMessage;
use Zend\Mime\Mime;
use Zend\Mime\Part as MimePart;
// Typically, PHP will use UTF-8 internally; the following converts
// the text to a Japanese encoding.
function convertToJapaneseEncoding($string) {
return mb_convert_encoding($string, 'ISO-2022-JP', 'UTF-8');
}
$mail = new Message();
// Set message encoding; this only affects headers.
$mail->setEncoding('ISO-2022-JP');
// Set the message content type:
$mail->getHeaders()->addHeaderLine('Content-Type', 'text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP');
// Add some headers. Textual content needs to be encoded first.
$mail->setFrom('somebody@example.com', convertToJapaneseEncoding('Some Sender'));
$mail->addTo('somebody_else@example.com', convertToJapaneseEncoding('Some Recipient'));
$mail->setSubject(convertToJapaneseEncoding('TestSubject'));
// Create a MIME part specifying 7bit encoding:
$part = new MimePart(convertToJapaneseEncoding($content));
$part->encoding = Mime::ENCODING_7BIT;
// Create a MIME message, add the part, and attach it to the mail message:
$body = new MimeMessage();
$body->addPart($part);
$mail->setBody($body);
