Ian-San Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Kenan The euro symbol is missing from many character sets and even if you can see it, it doesnt mean that the receipiant can. Unknown characters are replaced by a ?. There are some character sets that do have the Euro sysmbol in them - there are posts in this forum about it - but personally I would take the risk. You can change your email default character set to one that does show Euros - in email.php: $this->build_params['html_encoding'] = 'quoted-printable'; $this->build_params['text_encoding'] = '7bit'; $this->build_params['html_charset'] = constant('CHARSET'); $this->build_params['text_charset'] = constant('CHARSET'); $this->build_params['text_wrap'] = 998; but you still take the risk that it will not be seen at the other end. Overall, it is best to replace the symbol with the words 'Euro'. Ian-san Flawlessnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan0815 Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Overall, it is best to replace the symbol with the words 'Euro'. Or with the official abbreviation EUR (similar to USD etc.) HTH You can't have everything. That's why trains have difficulty crossing oceans, and hippos did not adapt to fly. -- from the OpenBSD mailinglist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
