function Unicode::mimeHeaderEncode

Same name in other branches
  1. 9 core/lib/Drupal/Component/Utility/Unicode.php \Drupal\Component\Utility\Unicode::mimeHeaderEncode()

Encodes MIME/HTTP headers that contain incorrectly encoded characters.

For example, Unicode::mimeHeaderEncode('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 self::truncateBytes(). This ensures 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.

Parameters

string $string: The header to encode.

bool $shorten: If TRUE, only return the first chunk of a multi-chunk encoded string.

Return value

string The mime-encoded header.
