Most likely, the PHP application produces non-UTF8 (or malformed UTF8). Another possibility is that you have a content filter that mis-handles UTF8. Postfix 2.11 just moves the bits from the sender to the receiver. It does not care if the content is (or should be) UTF8. Only with Postfix 3.x there are some checks that kick in if the sender says that the message or envelope contains UTF8. But that requires that the sender implements a relatively new SMTP protocol extension (RFC 6531..6533).
