PHP - Php Mail With Urlencode In The Message?

Hello friends.
First of all note that i'm just an amateur php programmer, so please if what i ask is very dam don't shoot me...
I already search the form and found some solutions to send  UTF-8 e-mail message using PHP, but for some reason i have to use the above code.
The problem is that this code doesn't send  UTF-8 e-mail messages.
If you can help me please do it.
Thank you

Code: [Select]
<? php
$subject = "my subject in UTF-8";
$emailadd = 'mail@mail.com';
$url = "http://www.mySite.com/";
$req = '0'; // Makes all fields required. If set to '1' no field can not be empty. If set to '0' any or all fields can be empty.


$text = "Results from form:\n\n";       
$space = '  ';
$line = '
';
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
if ($req == '1')
{
if ($value == '')
{echo "$key is empty";die;}
}
$j = strlen($key);
if ($j >= 40)
{echo "Name of form element $key cannot be longer than 20 characters";die;}
$j = 40 - $j;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $j; $i++)
{$space .= ' ';}
$value = str_replace('\n', "$line", $value);
$conc = "{$key}:$space{$value}$line";
$text .= $conc;
$space = '  ';
}

mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From: '.$emailadd.'');
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh charset=utf-8 CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">';

?>

I believe the solution the my problem should be simple I feel that it's staring me right in the face. I have a Cron Job that sends an email message to users who's bill "due date" falls on the current date. I want to make the email more personalized and say:   Dear John Doe:   You have the following bills due today:   Rent Cable Internet   Please login to pay your bills   Thanks,.   Here's my following PHP code

<?php
header("Content-type: text/plain");
 
// OPEN DATA BASE
define("HOSTNAME","localhost");
define("USERNAME","");
define("PASSWORD","");
define("DATABASE","");
 
mysql_connect(HOSTNAME, USERNAME, PASSWORD) or die("Connetion to database failed!");
mysql_select_db(DATABASE); 
 
joinDateFilter();
 
// BILL QUERY
function joinDateFilter(){
     $query = mysql_query("SELECT bills.billname, bills.duedate, bills.firstname, bills.email, bills.paid FROM bills JOIN users ON bills.userid=users.userid WHERE DATE(bills.duedate) = CURDATE() AND bills.PAID != 'YES'");
     $mail_to = "";
     while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
      echo $row['firstname']." - ".$row['email']."\n";
  $mail_to = $row['email'].", ";
     }
     if (!empty($mail_to)){
      sendEmail($mail_to);
     }
}
 
// SEND EMAIL
function sendEmail($mail_to) {
$from    = "MyEmail@myemail.com";
$message = "Dear " . $row['firstname'].", <br><br>"
 
."You have the following bills due today.<br><br>"
.$row['billname']. "<br><br>"
."Please login to pay your bills";
 
$headers = 'From: '.$from."\r\n" .
'Reply-To:'.$_POST['email']."\r\n" .
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n".
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($mail_to, "Today is your due date", $message, $headers);
}
?>

Hi,
I'm using an excellent script for a guestbook but when I get a notification that someone has signed in the message I get has an error report. The code looks OK to me but there must be something amiss. Here's the code snippet that notifies of a post
Code: [Select]
if (strtoupper($notify) == "YES") {
$msgtitle = "Someone signed your guestbook";
$vcomment = str_replace("&quot;","\"",$vcomment);   
$vcomment = stripslashes($vcomment);
$vcomment = str_replace("<br>","\n",$vcomment);
$msgcontent = "Local time : $tgl\n\nThe addition from $vname :\n----------------------------\n\n$vcomment\n\n-----End Message-----";
@mail($admin_email,$msgtitle,$msgcontent,"From: $vemail\n");
}
[/codr]
The error report says..
[error]

Can anyone help please?

My apologize if this should be here since this involves SQL.

My user can register himself ( just an email ) to a mail list.
He will get a mail after that, but the message in the mail should differ:
If there are under 100 people in the DB he should get something like " you are one of the 100 first people ", if there are more then 100 people it should say " sorry, to late ".

I can seem to get it to work so help would be awesome
( ps, I kinda need an anwser fast :s )
Code: [Select]
$sqlInsert = "INSERT INTO j5_maillist (email) VALUES('$email')";

        $sql = "SELECT COUNT(email) FROM j5_maillist AS aantalEmails";
        $result = mysql_query($sql);


        if( mysql_num_rows($result) <= "3" ){
             $message = 'you are one of the 100 first people  ';
    } else {
             $message = 'sorry, to late  ';
}

        $to      = $email;
        $subject = 'Nihonto Appreciation Day';
        $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

            // Additional headers
        $headers .= 'To: '.$email.'' . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'From: Nihonto Appreciation Day' . "\r\n";

        mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

        return mysql_query($sql);
