Put this at the beginning of yours php file and check:

// utf-8

header("Pragma: no-cache"); header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

// mbstring UTF8 coding (optional)

mb_detect_order(array('UTF-8', 'ASCII')); mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8'); mb_http_output('UTF-8'); mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8');
