	Problems with mime encoding of Japanese Characters in Subject and 'From:' etc. fields. by diresu :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi, I try to send messages written in Japanese (Kana/Kanji) with php. Everything works fine - only when the subject (or the name of the sender) becomes longer, there seems to be something wrong with the encoding: Neither my nor the mail reader of other Japanese friends is able to decode the mime string. At the place of the Japanese Characters, the mime string itself is displayed. As this doesn't happen for other Japanese emails with even long subjects, I suppose I did something wrong... When using the corresponding php mb_* functions to decode the string back, sometimes the correct original string and sometimes meaningless characters are shown. Here how I convert the subject (the name is converted using the same method and the sources are saved in UTF-8 using emacs): $subjectJIS = mb_convert_encoding($subject, "ISO-2022-JP", "AUTO"); $subjectMIME = mb_encode_mimeheader($subjectJIS, "ISO-2022-JP", "B"); ...snip... mail($to, $subjectMIME, $bodyJIS, $headers); Here part of the message as it is displayed by my mail program: From: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCJCskSjRBO3okKyRKNEE7eiQrJEo0QTt6JCskSjRBO3okKyRKNEE7?==?ISO-2022-JP?B?eiQrJEo0QTt6JCskSjRBO3okKyRKNEE7eiQrJEo0QTt6JCskSjRBO3ob?=(B <d.bollmann@...> ...snip...

Function does not follow rfc2047, chapter 3, second paragraph. I suspect that function base64 encodes string first and then splits it according to length argument or fails to add escapes when texts in iso-2022 charsets are folded. It breaks iso-2022 escapes. In http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=23192 moriyoshi@... wrote that issues should be reported on php-i18n first. Header posted on that bug report shows same issue with broken iso-2022 escapes, but Moriyoshi wrote that it is encoded correctly. Are things unchanged since 2003-04? Do I have to report bug here or on bugs.php.net? -- Tomas -- PHP Unicode & I18N Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Do they need another four black ships in order to change things? ISO-2022 texts can be encoded correctly, but it is harder to implement than iso-8859 or utf-8/utf-16 mime encoding. I suggest sending text in utf-8 and asking brain dead ISPs to fix their software. Even if it is DoCoMo. If Dietrich uses script in some html form, he does not know if text submitted in that form is Japanese.
