utf8 not working for me

You mean I (PHP) did not store the string correctly to database? But reading the string from MySQL via PHP works as expected (see my first post).
Or does "SET NAMES utf8" change everything globally?
ok, I'll try

GOD BLESS YOU! FINALLY IT WORKED!!!

SET NAMES utf8; ...does this take effect database or system-wide?

...you won't believe what I tried to do to get this work...

THANK YOU AGAIN![/img]

It is good to see that this problem has been solved.

The SET NAMES command setups encoding for the current connection only. You can read more in this topic of MySQL Reference Manual.
