If you would like to convert tabs to spaces, you could use the code:
<?php
str_replace("\t", " ", $text);
?>
However, sometimes this is not good enough. To be technically correct, a tab is not 4 spaces, a tab
shifts the text to the next predefined column. Usually these predefined columns occur every 4 spaces
from the start of the line.
If you want to convert tabs to spaces while ensuring consistant formatting, try this function...
