If you have a string containing the utf-8 encoded aribic, the normal file functions will write it and read it -

PHP Code:

$filename = 'arabictest.txt';

// got this text from www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html 

// it should say - I can eat glass and it doesn't hurt me.

$somecontent = "أنا قادر على أكل الزجاج و هذا لا يؤلمني.";



// Write $somecontent to a file

$handle = fopen($filename, 'w');

fwrite($handle, $somecontent);

echo "Wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)<br />";

fclose($handle);



// get contents of a file into a string

$handle = fopen($filename, "r");

$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));

echo $contents;

fclose($handle);

Here is an updated version of the above that outputs an utf-8 header and wraps the text with the proper language info -

PHP Code:

echo '<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8">';

$filename = 'arabictest.txt';

$somecontent = "أنا قادر على أكل الزجاج و هذا لا يؤلمني.";



// Write $somecontent to our opened file.

$handle = fopen($filename, 'w');

fwrite($handle, $somecontent);

echo "Wrote (<SPAN lang=AR dir=rtl>$somecontent</SPAN>) to file ($filename)<br />";

fclose($handle);



// get contents of a file into a string

$handle = fopen($filename, "r");

$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));

echo "<SPAN lang=AR dir=rtl>$contents</SPAN>";

fclose($handle);

To obtain help, you need to describe what the problem is, post the code that is responsible for performing the function in question, provide examples, and telling what you have already tried would not hurt either. Also provide information about what symptoms you have observed (in your case how do you know it is not writing the utf-8 text to a file?) Is it not displaying the text correctly when it is posted? If so, see the next paragraph.

The link you provided goes to blank page, which does not help except that it has this header -

Code:

<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

If this is the same header used on pages trying to display utf-8 encoded text, it will probably cause it to be displayed as the utf-8 encoded string and not as the proper text.
