One is that anything in single quotes gets translate literally, so '\n' will output \n whereas "\n" will output a newline character. The other issue is that newlines are not interpreted by browsers unless something like the <pre> tag is used or the content type is plain text. In the case of HTML documents, you need a <br> (or <br /> for XHTML). There is a PHP function that can help with this, nl2br().
