Problem with adding text to emails using the date function

[Shaun]

Hi,

using the folling line fo code i am trying to add some text to an email:

$subject .= "\nBooking Commences: ".date("jS F Y \a\t H\:i",
strtotime($booking_start_date));

However the output is:

Booking Commences: 24th September 2003 a 09:00

I think the \t is being interpreted as a 'tab', how can i get around this?

Thanks for your help

You are right, the same way as \n is interpreted as a newline. Use
single quotes

$subject .= "\nBooking Commences: ".date("jS F Y")." at ".date("H\:i")
