I think you're right about PHP setting. I also had a similar 
problem long time ago. As I wrote previously
what counts the most is the HTTP header, not the HTTP
body. <meta/> tag is inside HTTP body. It doesn't matter
what it says in <meta/> tag if the charset in HTTP header
says different thing.

You can either set that at PHP conf file or programmatically 
set the HTTP header 
Content-Type: text/html; charset=[whatever you want]
using one of PHP methods.
