imap_utf8 problem

[Anon]

Hi,

Im trying to write a MIME email script that will send the Euro symbol (€). I'm using the imap_utf8 function to encode my string to UFT-8 but seem to be getting incorrect results.

EG. $uft8 = imap_utf8("The Euro €");

returns "The Euro €" instead of the expected "The Euro €"

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kevin
