Whatever you do (file, fgets, fgetss, ...) reading a line looking like a tag (eg VirtualHost, Directory, ... in Apache) 
<VirtualHost name> 
will make fgets mask the "tag". 
So all between < & > will be lost... 

Looks more like a bug than a feature... 

To reproduce ?
$fd=fopen("Apache httpd.conf file","r");
while (!feof($fd))
{
  $line=fgets($fd,1000);
  print("Line=\"$line\"<BR>\n");
}
fclose($fd);
print("Where are the <text> fields ? :)\n");

Can you try this script and see what result you get?

<?php
$fd = fopen("/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf","r");
while (!feof($fd)) {
  $line = htmlspecialchars(fgets($fd,1000));
  print($line);
}
fclose($fd);
print("Where are the <text> fields ? :)\n");
?>
