As far as the HTML output, it wont affect how it shows up on the screen,
but if you look at the HTML code, you will notice everything is on 1
big-ass long line.
Using a /n at the end of an echo or print statement will put a carriage
return at the end so your HTML code is more pleasant to view and makes it
alot easier to view when you are trying to work out any problems in HTML
layouts.

My general rule of thumb is to use \" whenever I need a "
in general, I avoid using quotes where possible (such as in the following)
<font size=3 face=Arial> (instead of <font size=\"3\" face=\"Arial\">)
But for things like ALT tags, I use \" because spaces are required in the
value of the ALT tag.
