Help with file_get_html

The following code gives the expected results:

 

<html>

    <head>

        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

        <title>Generate Description and Tags</title>

    </head>

    <body>

        <?php

        include 'simple_html_dom.php';

        $entityURL = "http://google.com";

        echo "Entity URL: ", $entityURL,"<br>";

        $html = file_get_html($entityURL);

        $tot_html_str = $html->save();

        $tot_html_strlen = strlen($tot_html_str);

        echo "Strlen of total HTML: ",$tot_html_strlen,"<br>";

        ?>

    </body>

</html>

 

results in:

 

Entity URL: http://google.com

Strlen of total HTML: 7403

 

However, if I read the URL from a file, I am not able to scrape the HTML:

 

<html>

    <head>

        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

        <title>Generate Description and Tags</title>

    </head>

    <body>

        <?php

        include 'simple_html_dom.php';

        $myFile = "/home/prakash/foo.txt";

        $src_handle = fopen($myFile, "r");

        $entityURL = fgets($src_handle, 4096);

        echo "Entity URL: ", $entityURL,"<br>";

        $html = file_get_html($entityURL);

        $tot_html_str = $html->save();

        $tot_html_strlen = strlen($tot_html_str);

        echo "Strlen of total HTML: ",$tot_html_strlen,"<br>";

        ?>

    </body>

</html>

 

results in:

 

Entity URL: http://google.com

Strlen of total HTML: 0

 

What do I need to do differently to read the URL from a file.
