the line $string_one= "Learning to display \"Hello $name!\" to the screen\n" ; is correct but i would rather write it (like f.e. in java) $string_one= "Learning to display \"Hello $name!\" to the screen"\n ; which throws error why would it throw an error?

Each Language will have its own syntax. Sometimes there are similarities across them, but also many differences. In PHP, the newline character needs to be part of the string, and thus, inside the quotation marks. Outside will be a syntax error.
You'll see as you come into contact with other languages, that many things that work in one will throw errors in another.
Keep Coding! :)
