fwrite() and UTF8

by

If you know the data is in UTF8 than you want to set up the header.

I wrote a solution answering to another tread.

The solution is the following: As the UTF-8 byte-order mark is \xef\xbb\xbf we should add it to the document’s header.

<?php
function writeStringToFile($file, $string){
    $f=fopen($file, "wb");
    $file="\xEF\xBB\xBF".$file; // this is what makes the magic
    fputs($f, $string);
    fclose($f);
}
?>

You can adapt it to your code, basically you just want to make sure that you write a UTF8 file (as you said you know your content is UTF8 encoded).
