You could tell me why echo "This will not expand: a newline\n"; does not work

What do you mean by 'does not work'? What are you trying to achieve and what is going wrong?

remember \n's do nothing in html
view the source _then_ you can see the \n's
to get linebreaks use <br>\n ( still use the \n for neat and tidy html )
or there is the function nl2br() eg:
print nl2br("hello\ntesting\n");
prints:
hello<br>\n
testing<br>\n
