php contact form does not send if there are accents - php

  • 772

I have a contact form but it does not send if there are accents or ñ, I have tried in several ways but I have not been able to send the form if they put accents, symbols or ñ. I don't know what could be missing, add UTF8 but nothing every time someone fills out the form and places some special character the form doesn't arrive and presents errors.

<form  action="sendbymail2.php" method="post" accept-charset="ISO-8859-1">
                            <div class="row">
                                <div class="col-md-6 col-sm-12">
                                    <div class="contact-form-textfield pb-4">

    You have to use the mb_send_mail function, which encodes the message to utf-8, as indicated in the official php documentation https://www.php.net/manual/es/function.mb-send-mail.php

    <?php
$nombre = $_POST['nombre'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$direccion = $_POST['direccion'];
$message= $_POST['message'];
$para = '[email protected]';
$titulo = 'Hola- Contáctenos ';
$header = 'From: ' . $email . "\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain;charset=\"utf-8\" \n";
$msjCorreo = "Nombre: $nombre\n E-Mail: $email\n Celular: $phone\n Direccion: $direccion\n Mensaje: $message\n";
  
mb_language("uni"); //establecer el lenguaje de codificación a codificación universal utf-8

if ($_POST['submit']) {
    if (mb_send_mail($para, $titulo, $msjCorreo, $header)) {
        echo "<script language='javascript'>
        window.location.href = 'https://www.mipagina.com';
        </script>";
    } 
    else {
        echo 'Falló el envio';
    }
}
?>

    Also in your form change the accept-charset because you have it to english, or omit it.
