I too have wasted fruitless hours with this...

For me, as one of Rick's suggestions, the solution was to add a "SET NAMES" line when connecting to the database, like this:

mysql_connect ($dbhost, $dbusername, $dbuserpass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
mysql_select_db ($dbname);
