php characters (n, …)

hey!

I want to send a plain text email newsletter.
To give it some layout, I want to use the wellknown ‘tab’. However, does this exist?
I only know of n for a new line. Are there any others? I can’t find any info on php.net ?

cheers

@ShrineDesignsJun 30.2005 — or you could just format it like this[code=php]<?php
$msg = <<<MSG
this is the body of an email

sent from {$foo} at {$bar}

greetings {$name}

{$some_text}
MSG;

?>[/code]
