Using the int value 1002 seems to work for PHP 5.3.0:

public static function createDB() {
    $dbHost="localhost";
    $dbName="project";
    $dbUser="admin";
    $dbPassword="whatever";
    $dbOptions=array(1002 => 'SET NAMES utf8',);
    return new DB($dbHost, $dbName, $dbUser, $dbPassword,$dbOptions);
}

function createConnexion() {
    return new PDO(
        "mysql:host=$this->dbHost;dbname=$this->dbName",
        $this->dbUser,
        $this->dbPassword,
        $this->dbOptions); 
}
