You need to change the default charset that PHP uses.
(a) In your php.ini file change this line: default_charset = "UTF-8"
or
(b) In your .htaccess file set this line: php_value default_charset "UTF-8"
You must also ensure that your HTML output is UTF-8, so issue this command
before you output anything:
header('content-type:text/html; charset=UTF-8');
Hope this helps.
