I appreciate everyone's help. The problem was an extra space at the
end of the string so trim should work too. This is the resulting code
and it works, for anyone that tries this in the future.
<?php
$options = array ('flags' =>
FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW ,FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH);
$file = fopen("pass.txt", "r") or exit("Unable to open file");
$auth = filter_var($_POST["auth"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, $options);
while (!feof($file)) {
$current_Line = fgets($file);
$current_Line = filter_var($current_Line, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING,
$options);
if (strcmp($current_Line, $auth) == 0) {
setcookie("the", "true", time()+3600);
}
}
echo Done;
?>
