PHP - while loop (!feof()) isn't outputting/showing everything - php

Question

I am trying to read (and echo) everything of a .txt-File.
This is my code:
$handle = #fopen("item_sets.txt", "r");
while (!feof($handle))
{
$buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);
$trimmed = trim($buffer);
echo $trimmed;
}
This is my "item_sets.txt": http://pastebin.com/sxapZGuW
But it doesn't echo everything (and changing how much it shows depending on if and how many characters i echo after it). var_dump() shows me that the last string is never finished printing out. That looks like this:
" string(45) ""[cu_well_tra. But if I put an
echo "whateverthisisjustarandomstringwithseveralcharacters";,
my last output lines look like this:
" string(45) ""[cu_well_traveled_ak47]weapon_ak47" "1"
" string(5) "}
"
Basically my code isn't printing/echoing all of what it should or at least not showing it.
Thanks in advance :)

Thats because your test for EOF is before you output your last read
Try this with the test for EOF as part of the reading process
<?php
$line_count = 0;
$handle = fopen("item_sets.txt", "r");
if ($handle) {
while (($buffer = fgets($handle, 4096)) !== false) {
$trimmed = trim($buffer);
echo $trimmed;
$line_count++;
}
} else {
echo 'Unexpected error opening file';
}
fclose($handle);
echo PHP_EOL.PHP_EOL.PHP_EOL.'Lines read from file = ' . $line_count;
?>
Also I removed the # infront of the fopen its bad practice to ignore errors, and much better practice to look for them and deal with them.
I copied your data into a file called tst.txt and ran this exact code
<?php
$handle = fopen('tst.txt', 'r');
if ($handle) {
while (($buffer = fgets($handle, 4096)) !== false) {
$trimmed = trim($buffer);
echo $trimmed;
}
} else {
echo 'Unexpected error opening file';
}
fclose($handle);
And it generated this output ( just a small portion shown here )
"item_sets"{"set_community_3"{"name" "#CSGO_set_community_3""set_description" "#CSGO_set_community_3_desc""is_collection"
And the last output is
[aa_fade_revolver]weapon_revolver" "1"
Which is the last entry in the data file
