learning php here - I'm echoing some debug code, and I cannot seem to make
the newline character work.

For example, I tried this:

echo "supposedly, this will \nbe on \nmultiple lines.";

which, according to the php manual, should produce this:

supposedly, this will
be on
multiple lines.

But it doesn't work! It's all on the same line. What obvious thing am I
missing?
