function mime_header_encode in Drupal 4
Same name and namespace in other branches
- 5 includes/unicode.inc \mime_header_encode()
- 6 includes/unicode.inc \mime_header_encode()
- 7 includes/unicode.inc \mime_header_encode()
Encodes MIME/HTTP header values that contain non-ASCII, UTF-8 encoded characters.
For example, mime_header_encode('tést.txt') returns "=?UTF-8?B?dMOpc3QudHh0?=".
See http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt for more information.
Notes:
- Only encode strings that contain non-ASCII characters.
- We progressively cut-off a chunk with truncate_utf8(). This is to ensure each chunk starts and ends on a character boundary.
- Using \n as the chunk separator may cause problems on some systems and may have to be changed to \r\n or \r.
