Mainly the encoding problem:
The solution is: set the encoding method for the read data; also specify the encoding method when sending the email;
First use the function base64_encode() to encode the data using MIME base64
Title string For example, add the encoding type in front: =?UTF-8?B?
Of course, if it is gb2312, then =?GB2312?B?
Add after the title string: ?=
