Can you try
mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD);
@mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE) or die( "Unable to select database");
mysql_set_charset('utf8');
Working ok with greek for me

HTML Entities:
Judging by your screenshot , the database contains HTML encoded entities which means that sometime before saving your data in the DB you are altering it by applying htmlentities over it.
Unfortunately if your PHP version is < 5.4 the optional parameter $encoding does not default to UTF-8 so it treats your string like ASCII.
Multi-byte vs. single-byte:
Because of this multi-byte characters are broken into single-byte characters and HTML encoded before being saved.
When retrieving the data from the database you HTML source code will have HTML entities (ex.: Ã ) but your browser will render them the way you're seeing them.
Not using htmlentities should fix your problem and is recommended or you could try using html_entity_decode before outputting the data (not sure if it won't cause more trouble than it fixes).
How to check for HTML entities:
View the HTML source code of the site and check if there are any entities in the text fetched from the DB (ex.: Ã ).

Change this :
<?php
$Wall = new Wall_Updates();
if(isSet($_POST['update']))
{
$update=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['update']);
$data=$Wall->Insert_Update($id,$update);
if($data)
{
....
?>
to this :
<?php
$Wall = new Wall_Updates();
if(isSet($_POST['update']))
{
$update=html_entity_decode(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['update']));
$data=$Wall->Insert_Update($id,$update);
if($data)
{
....
?>

It is better for you to change your table's encoding to utf8 and connect to mysql like this:
$connection = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD) or die(mysql_error());
$database = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_query('set names "utf8" collate "utf8_turkish_ci" ');

Put this line below $database variable line and Try
mysql_set_charset('utf8',$database);
and while inserting this kind of data, you have to use N along with your value in your query N('$yourvalue')

I had same problem and solved it like that
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "tamirat";
$co = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname) or die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
mysqli_set_charset($co, 'utf8');
Just write the connection stuff first and write 'utf8'. I hope this will help.
