I have tried the code for "php-basics-s3v4" and I get a blank white screen when I use the \n. I have even downloaded the code from the site and tried it and it won't work. Any thoughts on why \n won't work? Mac 10.12.4 MAMP 3.5.

Without seeing the entire code, this is just a guess. But, I have found that a white screen usually means you are missing a semi-colon somewhere in the code.
Double check your code for a missing one.
Keep Coding!
