Why is my brain deserting me at this critical time?

As Dave Buchholz has pointed out, you can put the whole thing in a
double-quoted string. You don't need the silly parentheses, either:

<?php echo "hello\r\n"; ?>

However, even your version works. The reason you don't see the new lines
is because browsers ignore them. I suspect that what you really want is

<?php echo 'hello<br>'; ?>

Windows new lines are \r\n, not the other way around. You'll only see it in
the source code. Is that what you want?

<?php echo("hello\n\r"); ?> should do it

Folks:

In a PHP page, I have this -

<?php echo('hello'."\n\r"); ?>

yet I do not get the newlines. 'Sup?
