after you have opened your connection to your database, run this query also if you are not doing it already:

mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); //should only call once during life of connection.

 

Also assuming you got the meta tag in placed to:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
