Can you fwrite() using utf-8 encoding?

[Sugapablo]

I want to have php write some files in utf-8 encoding (foreign characters
are part of the text).

What's the best method for doing this? fwrite() doesn't seem to work.

Please explain? Are you have problems with:
-writing anything to file
-converting to utf-8
-writing something specific to file (like a missing BOM)

If your string is in the correct format, then $fp = fopen("file.txt ",
"wb"); fwrite($fp, $string) will write the file in the exact same format
your string is. However, considering PHP's Unicode support is.. well..
appalling, I'm guessing your real problem is that PHP has the the wrong
character encoding in the first place. You could try utf8_encode() on your
$string first..
