PHP get value from file function acts wierd

The function reads two strings from file data.db (utf-8). The file contains strings: '123' and '123'. I checked it via ECHO and it displays the content correctly. Thus im sure the problem is not in the file.

When I try to match the values with the file the variable $access never change.

 //got data from $_POST....

function au_check($login,$psw){
$f = file('data.db');
$l = $f[0];
$p = $f[1];

$access = 'fail';

if ($login==$l && $psw==$p){ 
    $access='CHANGED';
}
return $access;

}

echo (au_check($_POST['login'],$_POST['pass'])); //returns FAIL :((((

BUT! If i change my values DIRECTLY in code IT WORKS...
//got data from $_POST....

function au_check($login,$psw){
    $f = file('data.db');
    $l = '123';
    $p = '123';

    $access = 'fail';

    if ($login==$l && $psw==$p){ 
        $access='CHANGED';
    }
   return $access;

}

echo (au_check($_POST['login'],$_POST['pass'])); //returns CHANGED.
?>

plz help! how to fix and what is wrong? that's so weird ....

file returns the lines, complete with newline character.

Use something like this to trim them off (the trim function is too heavy-handed):

$lines = file('data.db');
$f = array_map(function($line) {return rtrim($line,"\r\n");},$lines);
