  'id' => int 71680
  'customer_id' => int 16161
  'amount' => string '1' (length=1)
  'second_customer_id' => null
  'second_amount' => null
  'customer_name' => string '飛知和　啓一' (length=18)
  'second_customer_name' => null
  'payment_flag' => string '掛' (length=3)
  'payment_flag_id' => int 2
  'order_id' => int 9108
  'article_name' => string '祭壇' (length=6)
  'article_id' => int 1000001
  'sales_price' => string '200000.0' (length=8)
  'discount' => int 0
  'ceremony_cooking_category_id' => null
  'payment_date' => string '2014/12/05' (length=10)
  'payment_hour' => string '0' (length=1)
  'payment_min' => string '0' (length=1)
  'hall_id' => null
  'hall_name' => null
  'hall_address' => null
  'hall_tel' => null
  'stock_date' => null
  'stock_confirm_emps_name' => null
  'check_date' => null
  'check_emps_name' => null
  'note' => string 'memo 333' (length=8)

add

Header("Content-Type:text/html;charset=utf8");

before your var_dump, change utf8 to the encoding your database use.

use Content-Type: text/plain and charset=utf-8, this force the output to render as plain text.

add this line before outputting anything.

header("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8");

Reference : Charset W3
