tab using php "\t" not working

[nikesh.yadav]

hey all,
can anybody help me regarding "\t" bcoz
"\t" not working

[darkagn]

In what context are you attempting to use "\t"? Can you post your code?

[nikesh.yadav]

i m using \t to make gap between words as it is need of project in a small area

[Lejonet]

Post some code so we can help

echo " text \t \t works perfect." on the sourcecode output"

but it does not work on the HTML code. no tabs does. you have to use css or table.

[muximus]

Just make sure you use "\t" and not '\t'

[sam-i-am]

the \n \t can only be used to format the source code but it can also be used to format the display if it is inside the <pre></pre> tag

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you do "word \t word" it is possible that the first word ended right before the tab stop, making the tab not noticable.

Foo	Bar
Foo Bar	Foo Bar
	Foo Bar

Line 1 = Foo\tBar
Line 2 = Foo Bar\tFoo Bar
Line 3 = \tFoo Bar

[sam-i-am]

again, your example is correct according to me.
only if you view the source of the html.

[Stefano Mtangoo]

AFAIK, that is not HTML tag, so it will be displayed s part of word that is
echo "CSGAL\t" will be displayed as CSGAL\t

[sam-i-am]

use "CSGAL\\t"

echo "hello all thank you that you post your comment fit with my problem! may I be you firend";

hey all,
can anybody help me regarding "\t" bcoz
"\t" not working

yeee hi...
can you put once '\t' in the place of "\t" it definitely work

[Stefano Mtangoo]

since \t is equal to 4 spaces (sometimes 8 spaces) why not add 4/8 &nbsp;

<?php
for($i=0;$i<5;$i++)
{
echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ramesh is learning PHP"."<br/>";
}
?>
