Not to add any further confusion if you are simply wish to fix what you
have, but you could read the contents of your textfile into an array
with file()

$nicks = file("nicknames.txt");

// You then use rtrim() to remove any unwanted whitespace,newlines, or
carriage returns at the end of each item.

foreach ($nicks as $nick) {
$trimmed_nick = rtrim($nick);
echo "$trimmed_nick<br>";
}
