You certainly wouldn't want both utf-8 and iso-8859-1 declared at the same time. It sounds like what you want is iso-8859-1 and NOT utf-8. Check the encoding of either your files or your database content. Also check what headers PHP is sending to the browser. If you're using Firefox you can check the page info to see what charset it thinks it received.
