Answer 1

Try this

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

Also sometimes what needs to be explained is that the user is sending/expecting UTF-8 encoded data when connecting to the database, so MySQL thinks it's supposed to handle latin1 encoded data and converts it accordingly. Issue the command SET NAMES utf8 after connecting to the db

Please let me know if it still doesn't work
