title: Trouble creating a tab delimited file with PHP
body: <p>I'm trying to create a tab delimited file with PHP and having some troubles. Basically my tabs, and line breaks ie <code>\t</code> and <code>\n</code> end up being printed out instead of converted to what they are supposed to be.</p>
  
  <p>My code is simple:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$sql = 'SELECT * FROM products';
  $res = mysql_query($sql);
  
  $page_print = 'id \t title \t description \t price';
  
  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)) {
      $page_print .= $row['product_id'] . ' \t ' . $row['product_name'] . ' \t ' . strip_tags($row['product_content']) . ' \t ' . $row['product_price'] . '\n';
  }
  
  $page_print = sanitize_output($page_print);
  
  $myFile = "products.txt";
  $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w');
  $stringData = trim($page_print);
  fwrite($fh, $stringData);
  fclose($fh);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong here?</p>
