XML files Writing

[Distant_storm]

I am soon going to be looking to write XML files with php, I think it has to be written in a certain encoding or would the simple writing functions do ?

 

such as

 

touch()

fputs

fgets

 

all that jazz

 

or do i need to use some special function which will write in a certain encoding ?
