php encoding of posted data changed

Question

I post data from client to php, here is how my post data seems in client:

I click add and post this string to php with ajax call here how posted data seem in ajax parameter;

//username ="Uğur Akkaynak" so its ok. 

    var params = {
        action: "saveAdObjects",
        username_: username,
    }
    $.ajax({
        url: "../../Controller/ActiveDirectoryController.php5",
        type: "POST",
        async:false,
        dataType: "json",
        data: params,
        success: function (result)...

In php file I check the posted variable:

var user = $_POST["username"]; //UÄŸur Akkaynak wtf!

so problem is clear, strings broken in php, I know I need change encoding in php file and tried these:

header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8'); 
utf8_encode($_POST["username"]);// UÃ„ÂŸur Akkaynak 
mb_convert_encoding ($_POST["username"],'utf-8'); // UÄŸur Akkaynak

What should I do get $_POST["username"] as 'Uğur Akkaynak' like posted from client

Where/how/when exactly are you seeing "UÄŸur"? Most likely there's **nothing wrong** here at all, only your method of displaying the string is messed up. — deceze, Oct 22 '15 at 09:53
What is the encoding of the HTML page? It should match the encoding you're using in PHP. You could try echo '' — Mrk Fldig, Oct 22 '15 at 09:56

There's no need to add the header:

header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8');

To encode strings on the client side, you could add the following in the ajax function: contentType:"application/x-javascript; charset:UTF-8"

$.ajax({
        url: "../../Controller/ActiveDirectoryController.php5",
        type: "POST",
        async:false,
        dataType: "json",
        data: params,
        contentType:"application/x-javascript; charset:UTF-8"
        success: function (result)...

Also verify that your HTML-head contains:

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

First of all you need to observe your request via developer console.
Find about network request and see the parameter value.

if it not correct try add

contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8",

into your ajax request.
