str_replace for a utf8 string

Question

str = "asd€aaa";

$str = str_replace("€","",$str);

Not replacing the € sign for some reason.

I have mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8"); set up at the top of the file (which is saved in UTF-8).

The string originates from a MySQL db, so I also have these set:

mysql_set_charset('utf8',$conn);
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET utf8");
mysql_query("SET COLLATION_CONNECTION = 'utf8_unicode_ci'");

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

This means the string coming from the database and the search string are not in the same encoding and are hence not recognized as the same character. Make sure your source code file is saved in UTF-8 as well.
