UTF-8 output encoding problem

I think you misunderstand the purpose of the $GLOBALS['xmlrpc_internalencoding'] variable.
It is a switch which you are allowed to set, after including the phpxmlrpc.inc, to tell the library how you want the (encoding of) data to be fed to your code.
If your app deals with utf8 natively, then you have to set $GLOBALS['xmlrpc_internalencoding'] = 'UTF-8'.
Note that it seems that you are talking about consuming messages. But the same setting is also assumed to apply to all data that your app feeds into the library, i.e. the parameters in your requests.

Thanks for your answer. I actually didn't realise I could change the $GLOBALS, as I have never used them.
However, not depending on $GLOBALS as you suggested in #17 would be better solution in my opinion.

Yup, for the next version I will remove globals as much as possible.
But bear in mind that the nr 1. guideline for development of this library has always been stability and backwards compatibility. That's why we ended up with all those ugly globals, to avoid changing the existing API.
If you can confirm that changing the global value works, I will close this bug

You cannot have backwards compatibility for ever. You'll have to let go somewhere. I do think that support FROM php53 is simply the best option to keep going forward.

I'm sorry I haven't replied for a while, I was quite busy.
Changing global value works for me, you can close this issue.
