imap_fetchbody not show special characters

Question

I use imap_fetchbody to download email from my personal email to a MYSQL DB and when i use with special characters, like accents, in my DB save n? instead of nº for example

Anyone can help me with this problem?

Example:

$data = imap_fetchbody($mbox,$mid,'0');

Best Regards.

Answer 1

This sounds more like a MySQL issue than an IMAP issue.

Try encoding the data as UTF-8. You may also need to specify the character set used by the tables in your database.

Answer 2

try to convert like this $data = imap_qprint(imap_fetchbody($mbox,$mid,'0')); before the db insertion.
