With next form I get mail to send, but in a mail I got wrong encoding for
Croatian diacritical marks "?ÐÈÆ?".

I don't know php or other server side script language, I'm learning java and
I have mande only one desktop application, for now. So, I was thinking and
you can correct me if I was wrong, why I don't put some simple servlet
instead ordering form above. In that way I will start to learn making web
application and I solve the encoding problem (described above) without
learning php or whatever. Maybe I ask weird question so I will say some
facts about me and my brainstorming:
- I need plenty of time to solve some problem, I mean I'm not a lumen which
take some tehnology and learn it just like that
- object programming language is the crown and the most powerful tool. 10
years ago desktop application only exist, tomorow, everything will be
powerfull web application wrote in some object-oriented language where
script language (server-side) will be too weak.
Why then to waste my priced time to some php when I will need java very soon
? Maybe servlet is too complicated for so simple form?
The fact is that one object oriented language + SQL is already too much for
me, even script languages is very easy to learn.
