I am trying to have a file that I generated with PHP saved as UTF-8 without
the BOM (Byte Order Mark). Does PHP do anything like this? I am a beginner
with PHP, but very technically experienced otherwise. I'm talking about the
FILE encoding here -just to be clear.

e.g. fopen("what_ever_file", "a+") now I want PHP save the file itself with
UTF-8 encoding, NOT system default.

I have searched for hours to find an answer, but have not found any info on
the subject.

Does PHP have any ability to create a text file saved in UTF-8 encoding??
