Most probably you'll need to trim() the lines before checking their contents. There may be spaces before or after the dot, so it doesn't return true when compared to "."

 

The following code works fine. I used a foreach() instead of a for().

 

<?php
$lines = file('txt_files/read_this.txt');

foreach ($lines as $line)
{
if (trim($line) == '.') break;

echo $line;
}
?>
