PHP escape chars

Hi,
My code appears to be ignoring tabs i.e
echo "A \t B \t \t C";
simply outputs A B C
where am I going wrong?

In HTML any whitespace: tabs, newlines multiple spaces are treated as 1 space. You'll either need to display it as text or use several for a tab.

I was referring to a php string and the following:-

That's either wrong or I'm most possibly misreading it.

Hi,
I forgot to enclose the code with the <pre></pre> tags
So:-
$mystring = "A \t B \t C \t";
expands A B C with tabs.
