    In what way are they not working? How are you displaying your resulting text file? – mario Sep 07 '14 at 05:49
  • `\t` is not html, `
    ` is html, if you open the file in browser you will get linebreaks, if you open it in notepad you propably get `tabs`. To linebrake in notepad you need `\n` or better use `\r\n`. Also, its not very important but..., you dont close the handle from `fopen`. And why are you overriding your string with the write-state ?     – Dwza Sep 07 '14 at 05:57

Try /r/n rather <br>(it's a html tag will not work with txt)

$write = "tires is  ".$akash."\r\n" ."Oil is " .$akash2."\t" ."Spark plug is " .$akash3."\t". "address is  " .$akash4."\r\n";
$open = fopen("order.txt","ab");
$write = fwrite($open,$write);
fclose($open);

in my case output is:-

tires is  sdff
Oil is ddddd    Spark plug is fffff address is  ggggg

you may want to drop the "b" in the fopen statement. From the manual , option b is "binary" which is probably causing the error.
