Answer 1

I think you should change
$line = fgets($file_handle);
to
$line .= fgets($file_handle);
inside the while loop.
Also, instantiate $line with $line = ""; somewhere before the while-loop;
fgets will probably return false the last time (or an empty line or something).

Answer 2

try declaring $name before the while... it could be a scope problem....
$name = "";
$file_handle = fopen("text.htm", "r");
while (!feof($file_handle)) {
$line = fgets($file_handle);
echo $line;
// make the DSN
$dsn = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=text;';
$user = 'text';
$password = 'text';
$name=$line;
}
