in cake 1.1 I usually add to my app_model.php for the project
class AppModel extends Model { function __construct($id = null, $table = null, $ds = null) { parent::__construct($id, $table, $ds); if (!defined('MYSQL_SET_NAMES_UTF8') && $this->useTable!==false) { $this->execute("SET NAMES 'UTF8'"); define('MYSQL_SET_NAMES_UTF8', true); } } } I can't remember where I got this probably from AD6 or M.I.
