$file = 'test.eps';

file_put_contents($file, $var);

I believe you are dealing with either:

1. The character encoding of the source code file you have created (make sure it is UTF-8!)
2. The default encoding for file_put_contents is utf8, so you should be okay there but your OS or distro might be interfering. What OS / distro / version are you using?

Edit
From the comments it sounds like an issue with your text editor. Try creating a new copy of the file using a proper programming text editor. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/173112/best-lightweight-ide-text-editor
