. The items supported by iconv_mime_encode() are listed below. Note that item names are treated case-sensitive.Configuration items supported by iconv_mime_encode() Item Type Description Default value Example scheme string Specifies the method to encode a field value by. The value of this item may be either "B" or "Q", where "B" stands for base64 encoding scheme and "Q" stands for quoted-printable encoding scheme. B B input-charset string Specifies the character set in which the first parameter field_name
and the second parameterfield_value
are presented. If not given, iconv_mime_encode() assumes those parameters are presented to it in the iconv.internal_encoding ini setting.iconv.internal_encoding ISO-8859-1 output-charset string Specifies the character set to use to compose the MIME header. iconv.internal_encoding UTF-8 line-length integer Specifies the maximum length of the header lines. The resulting header is "folded" to a set of multiple lines in case the resulting header field would be longer than the value of this parameter, according to » RFC2822 - Internet Message Format. If not given, the length will be limited to 76 characters. 76 996 line-break-chars string Specifies the sequence of characters to append to each line as an end-of-line sign when "folding" is performed on a long header field.

);
$preferences["scheme"] = "Q";

echo iconv_mime_encode("Subject", "Prüfung Prüfung", $preferences);
$preferences["scheme"] = "B";
