The PHP server receives the UTF-8 encoded strings in quoted printable format. To verify this, check if the application hits this line in IdMulitpartFormData:

FContentTransfer := sContentTransferQuotedPrintable;

However the PHP side should be able to handle this transfer mode.

You are telling AddFormField() to encode text values using UTF-8, and then the UTF-8 octets are being additionally encoded during transmission using MIME's quoted-printable encoding, which is the default setting for the TIdFormDataField.ContentTransfer property for text data. You are seeing the quoted-printable text in your PHP output. If you want PHP to receive raw UTF-8 octets instead, set the TIdFormDataField.ContentTransfer property to '8bit' or 'binary' instead, eg:

param.AddFormField('offer[fullname]',UserArray[0], 'utf-8').ContentTransfer := '8bit';

Otherwise, your PHP code will have to decode the quoted-printable data using the quoted-printable-decode() function.

Your "encoded signs" are Cyrillic in UTF8 encoding. You can decode them manually using the correspondent encoding table. For example

D0 A1 D0 BE D1 84 D0 B8 D1 8F -> София
