I'm not sure if it would make any difference, but I usually use "or" in
this case rather than "||", and I know they have different operator
precedence.

Well, it's a pretty model example of a line-by-line file read. I can't
see anything wrong with it, so perhaps the problem lies elsewhere.
There's no other files with the same name in your include_path?

Maybe something to do with auto_detect_line_endings or whatever it's
called, in php.ini? (I know, probably a long shot.)
