 In many examples I have seen similar to:

 echo 'pWhatever./p\n';

 echo 'pAn other whatever./p\n';

 But my PHP outputs the \n instead of a new line in the source.

 I am stupid?

No, just naive. :-)

Quotes () and Apostrophes (') are not QUITE the same in PHP.

To some degree, they are VERY different.

' has only two (2) special characters:  ' and \

 has a lot of special characters, and interpolates variables and
one-dimension arrays.

\n only works in  not in '

just to add: you can interpolate any dimension of arrays (and objects for that 
matter)
as long as you bother to escape the variables with braces inside the string
 e.g.

$str = my {$array['one']['two']['three']} string {$object-prop} 
interpolation;
