how can i fix php var_dump error

Question

I am trying to use php to verify my html form a file.txt in witch i have a login , password. the problem in my php code that even when the variables are equal i get false when i compare them.The only exception is when i compare the first login and pasword i get true for both.

Here is my code to clarify my problem. so my html form calls this php page code.

<?php
echo " begin <br/>";
    $name=$_GET['username'];
    $password=$_GET['password'];
        echo "$name <br/>";
        echo "$password <br/>";
         $f = fopen("file.txt", "r");
         $res="0";  
            while(!feof($f))
           { echo "begin while <br/> ";
                $p3=fgetc($f );
                 while($p3!="|" && !feof($f) )
                 {
                  $user1=$user1.$p3;    
                  $p3=fgetc($f); 

                 } 
                  $p1=fgetc($f);
                    while($p1!="|" && !feof($f))
                     { $pass=$pass.$p1; 
                       $p1=fgetc($f); 
                     }
                     $p2=fgetc($f);
                    while($p2!="|" && !feof($f))
                      {
                        $q=$q.$p2;  
                        $p2=fgetc($f);  
                      }
                      var_dump($user1 == $name);
                    var_dump($password == $pass);
                    echo "<br/> $user1 <br/>";
                    echo "$pass <br/>";
                    echo "compare <br/>";
                    echo "$name <br/>";
                    echo "$password <br/>";
                 if( $name == $user1 && $password == $pass )
                   {  echo "succeeded <br/>";
                      echo "droit: $q <br/>";
                      echo "$res <br/>";
                        $res="1";
                        echo "$res <br/>";
                        break 2;
                    }

                    unset($p3);
                    unset($p1);
                    unset($p2);
                    unset($user1);
                    unset($pass);
                    unset($q);
             }
    fclose($f);
    if($res == "1")
        { echo "ok <br/>";}
    else 
        { echo " error <br/>";}

  echo " fin <br/>"
    ?>

my file.txt

and even for the third user line i get an error even though the variable are equal.

I appreciate it, if any one could help me . and thanks in advance

Looks like your $user1 is corrupted... are you sure there are no char after 'aaa' ? like 'aaa ' ? try to trim it : trim($name) == trim($user1)... otherwise, try to compare "$name" == "$user1" ?
