I had almost the same problem as you do where I wanted to retrieve Arabic data fields from SQL Server 2008 R2 with php using ODBC connection and then I found that getting the right information depends on using " iconv " like this: 

echo iconv("","utf-8",$result);

So you can see I didn't mention the first encoding but the way I wanted to display my Arabic data (utf8).

Alternatively to Stewie's answer you can use the iconv functions.
