Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

<?php
 echo \"<pre>This prints a newline\\nagain a new line\\tnow a tab</pre>\";
 echo nl2br(\"This prints a newline\\nagain a new line\\tnow a tab\");
?>
