I think you had it right the first time.  If I'm understanding the  
original question, he doesn't actually have the character "\"  
followed by "n" in $variable.  He has a line break, not a backslash,  
and a line break in PHP is "\n".  The character "\" followed by  
"n" (the replacement) is "\\n" or more simply '\n' (single quoted  
strings aren't parsed).

Peace,
