one of the exercises in the book has you build a very basic form to send out email. The form works fine.
I just have a question about the code that i don't quite understand.
$msg = "email sent from WWW site\n";
$msg .= "Sender's name:\t$_POST[sender_name]\n";
$msg .= "Message:\t$_POST[message]\n";
on the above message string, i understand everything except the "t". if i remove the T, then the email that gets returned, has $_POST[sender_name] etc. if i put the T in, it works fine. I understand that the 2 slash marks are escape characters, but what the heck is that T doing and why is it necessary.
any responses would be mucho appreciated.
