php - national letters in query - query fails

[giaur giaur]

Hello,

I have a problem with sending queries containing national (non-ascii) letters, for example ą, ę, ś, ć.

Every time I send this query, result is 0 records (even if shouldn't- fails). My site encoding is set to utf-8. Database default encoding is utf8_general_ci and all tables encoding is utf8_general_ci too.

I've tried something like this:

mysql_query("/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf-8*/;");
mysql_query("/*!40101 SET character_set_connection = utf-8 */;");
mysql_query("/*!40101 SET character_set_server = utf-8 */;");
mysql_query("/*!40101 SET character_set_results = NULL */;");

mysql_query("/*!40101 SET NAMES utf-8 */;");

But this affects to display results on page only. I can't find solution anywhere and this make me crazy!

Can you help me? PhpMyAdmin displays results as the should be displayed, but I have no idea how is it done there ..... I'm really confused, please help....
