Flash, PHP and mysql

I`m using Flash actionscript method LoadVars.sendAndLoad() to send user
input to a PHP script.
Getting the stuff into mysql works fine. Outputting the updated db in Flash
also works fine.

I also want PHP to send an email for each input to the mysql db.

But the emails looks like this (when testing I also use some local norwegian
characters):

gb_name39=navn%20%C3%A6%C3%B8%C3%A5%C3%86%C3%98%C3 %85

How do I make this readable in the emails send from PHP? Have tried various
PHP functions without
much luck.

Jings - I'd have thought sending an email would be the *easy* part.

Break it down. try just sending a simple email. When you've cracked that
have a think about how you want to handle the i18n stuff - my first choice
would be to send it as inline HTML - there are lots of PHP classess for
generating html mails. Try phpclassess.org if you don't want to do the PEAR
thing.

Its difficult to be more specific without knowing what the email was
supposed to say.

Try running the input through urldecode() before sending it.
For some reason the string you receive is urlencoded. I won't hazzard
any guess as to why it is urlencoded though. This is probably something
in your programming.

Thanks a lot guys !

utf8_decode(urldecode($rString)) did the trick !
