The following line is the output from the below.

foo is 2foo is $foofoo is 2 foo is $foo\n

$foo = 2;
echo "foo is $foo"; // this prints: foo is 2
echo 'foo is $foo'; // this prints: foo is $foo
echo "foo is $foo\n"; // this prints: foo is 2 (with a new-line)
echo 'foo is $foo\n'; // this prints: foo is $foo\n

As you can see, no new-line.
