Pound Symbol in Subject - mailalerts.php

[evolution.x]

Hi,

 

I am trying to show the order total in the subject of the new order email.

 

So far i have this:

 

mailalerts.php - PS 1.4.9.0 - Line 171

 

$subject = $this->l('Order', false, (int)$id_lang).' - '.sprintf('%06d', $order->id).' - '.sprintf('%c156').sprintf($order->total_paid, $currency);

 

Output from above: [shop Name] Order - 000999 - 10.99

 

Output Wanted: [shop Name] Order - 000999 - £10.99

 

This shows me the order amount but i cannot get the pound symbol to show?

 

As you can see i have tried ASCII %c156 but this does not work?

 

Any help on this would be great!

Hi

 

Subject must be send in this case in correct mime type encoding with utf8 charset for example.

 

I am really not sure that the mail client will detect UTF8 and create correct mime type

but I would try a

utf8_encode($subject).

or

$subject = '=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode(utf8_encode($subject));

 

or

$subject = '=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode($subject);

 

Good luck

Hi.

 

While encoding can help you display the £ symbol, most mail servers would regard it as spam, so it is not wise to include currency symbols or words like 'FREE', 'CREDIT CARD' etc. So this could be rather a loss than a gain.
