If you are using fgets() to read a line from a text file, you may want to use the chop() function to remove the new line character from the end of the line as shown in this PHP script:

<?php

$handle = fopen("/tmp/inputfile.txt", "r");

while ($line=fgets()) {

$line = chop($line);

# process $line here...

}

fclose($handle);

?>
