How can you read a .txt file and only show the lines that are NOT empty.

I have a .txt file that has the following and want only to echo the lines
that have values in them...

sample txt file content

"
Joe West
Friend & Neighbor
(604) 123-1234

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joe Five
Friend
(604) 123123123
"


Output should be something like this

"
Joe West
Friend & Neighbor
(604) 123-1234
Joe Five
Friend
(604) 123123123
"

I have tried this, but not having any luck ...

<?php
$handle = fopen("sp.txt", "r");
while (!feof($handle))
{
$buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);
if (!empty($buffer))
{
echo $buffer;
echo "<BR>";
}
$buffer = "";
}
fclose($handle);
?>

thanks!
