\t is a tab character. If you looked in your source code, you'd see a
tab there. Use "\\tab"

You need to escape the '/' with a '/', as it is a special character.
So, anytime you run into an issue where it looks like PHP is trying to 
interpret something you just want it to print.  The best first guess is to 
try and escape it.  

Just Thought I would offer a little more explaination.

Jan, between "double quotes", several things are translated
this   becomes
\t  a tab
\r  a carriage return
\n  a newline
\"  "
\\  \
There are more, see the documentation.

So to type  \tab
use
   '   \tab '   (note that these are 'single quotes')
or
   "  \\tab  "

Hi,

I want php to print " \tab"
but when I do,  I only get "ab" as output.
How do I keep the \t?

Thanks in advance.
