Don't use || when you mean 'or' :-)
Nor sure it really matters here, but better to follow the crowd and
use 'or' here.

Okie dokie. Found there to be no change in behavior at this point. Perhaps I
need to set the error checking higher, say E_ALL.

4096 is longer than any line in the file?

Yes, it accounts for every line in the file.

Are you 100% certain you don't have an empty file in
docs/InstallationInstructionMaster.txt sitting right next to your
script, while the REAL file you want is somewhere else?
Been there. Done that. Smacked the forehead.
Use the full path to the file to be SURE you are reading the file you
think you are reading.

Did that too. Still no joy.
Several other methods have been provided and I will use one of those.
However, when I get to the point that fopen would be my only choice I will
likely encounter these same problems. C'est la vie!
