Can you post the code of the form? Did you need support for other languages?

there are some problems with hebrew and .inc files.

my scripts worked after ive changed the files extentions to .html

also, im not working in utf-8 charset but rather in windows-1255.

let me know if you need further help.

it doesn't matter that the html says it's utf-8, what do the headers say? if you didn't specify them it will go with the os default, take a look at this thread where someone ran into a similar problem, you should be able to fix it when you use valid headers
