PHP and utf8

[abhishek jain <ejaincom@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi
whenever i use a string / chars from other language, apart from english,  (a 
select query returning such string from mysql db) my php script outputs 
'Segmentation fault' and exists,
this is not a web but a command line script, any ideas how can i use utf8 chars, 


pl advice.
