Re: \n \t don't work!!!

If you want it to work with \n, then you will need to use the <pre></pre> tags. Otherwise you need to translate the \n's into <br> tags. \n is NOT an html tag so when you print them to the browser, it adds lines to the source, but as you might already know, a new line in the source of an html page does NOT give a new line in the output unless you use an html tag that would give the new line.

They do work but you will not see that in the rendered html page (in a browser). Have a look at the source of the produced page and you will see the linebreaks.
