I didn't get the orig post but

\t is right, in php escape sequences are replaced in double quote (and 
heredoc) delim strings so

if ($a == "TAB\nTAB") {
  ....
}

note you can use the chr() function as well (ie for non escapable chars)
The control escapable chars are \r, \n, \t, others are \\, \", \', \$

if ($a == 'TAB'.chr(9).'TAB') {
  ....
}

Heredoc is really good for multiline strings is SQL statements

$S = <<<SQL
  SELECT Column
  FROM Table
  WHERE
      ID = '$ID'
SQL;
