There isn't a predefined tabulation constant; but you can always define your own if you feel that it is necessary — Mark Baker, Sep 19 '16 at 10:14
I define it in the code in string type But it wrote incorrectly as in example — Andrzej Moroz, Sep 19 '16 at 10:19
At first I failed to see how a bunch of `char(9)` calls were better than `\t` in your code, until I realized that it was the output file that contained the literal `\t`. So with that in mind there has to be something wrong with the code that generates this text, so please edit your answer and post the PHP code as well. — ChristianF, Sep 19 '16 at 11:05

PHP_EOL is a Constant from Core PHP. You could simply define your own Constants and use them. For example:

<?php

    defined("TAB1") or define("TAB1", "\t");
    defined("TAB2") or define("TAB2", "\t\t");
    defined("TAB3") or define("TAB3", "\t\t\t");
    defined("TAB4") or define("TAB4", "\t\t\t\t");
    defined("TAB5") or define("TAB5", "\t\t\t\t\t");


    $string = "common.app"     . TAB1 . "/loader" . TAB1 . "/growl" . 
               TAB2 . "/error" . TAB1 . "/form";

I solved using css

<style>
.MyCSS{
    border:1px solid #FFF; 
    width:10em; 
    float:left; 
    font-weight:bold;
    }
</style>
<?php 
// here the selection query
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) { ?>
<div>
<div class="MyCSS">
<?php stripslashes($row['Country']);?>
</div>
<?php echo stripslashes($row['CountryDescription'])."<br>";?> 
</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<?php } ?>

And this needs results from a database? Shouldn't it work without? – Nico Haase Mar 20 '18 at 20:04
