UTF-8 question

[kaancho12]

hi,
I am writing some text to a file but before that i am using utf8_encode to encode it to UTF-8. Is this the write way to create a file to encode it.
for ex:
$str=utf8_encode("some strin");
fwrite($str,filehandle);

also is there a way to check if the new file is encoded in the UTF-format?
thanks

you mean a string in unicode post through wbpage (say as a POST var) through some form, you want to save as unicode file right?
well I am trying to find solution for the same thing.
Problem: a unicode string past through browser, received at the other end and saved as some file, the chars are in ascii??
