Your problem starts here - file returns the file in an array. Each element
of the array corresponds to a line in the file, with the newline still
attached. When you compare to a string without the newline at the end, the
comparison fails.
If you have php > 5.0.0 you can use the FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES flag in the
file() arguments, otherwise use trim() to remove trailing whitespace from
the array elements.
