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

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 "
