Mail() function problem!

[faser]

Hello everybody.

I have the following problem when using the mail() function:

---

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: FÁBIO <[e-mail]>";

mail("[e-mail]", "Subject", "Message", "$headers")

The problem is in "From:". When I use a name which has any Latin (ISO 8859-1) chars, it doesn't send the email. But when I use a name without latin chars, it sends the mail.

For example, if i use something like this:

"From: FABIO <.... >";

there is no problem, and the mail's sent!

I really can't understand why this happens! I've tried to insert the Charset as you can see, but it still doesn't work!

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Fábio Silva

Have you tried asking this question on a MySQL board?

On a MySQL forum?? I don't understand! What does it have to do with PHP? I am not using any MySQL connections here! Just a simple script in PHP to send E-Mail's...

Try to end the every line of Header by these characters - \n. I use it always when I use the mail90 function and it works.

$headers .= "From: FÁBIO <[e-mail]>\n"; 

or maybe this could also help

    "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n";

Why you need to use Latin charset?

But I must say I´m not sure I helped you...
