`echo` just prints the arguments it's given.  There's no magic involved.
 `echo <br>` will never print a new line.  Only when that is part of a
HTML document, the browser will display a line break.  What you're
looking for is "\n" or "\r\n" (for Windows, but often not necessary) or
PHP_EOL (platform independent).  Note that the escape sequences \n and
\r are also available in C (printf etc.).
