Finding Recurring String in a TEXT file using PHP

i have a text file, with a lot of data in it. i've gotten as far as extracting field names between character statements.

what i would like my code to do is scan the ENTIRE text file. for some reason it stops with the first occurrences of the characters/string.

<?PHP


//First, open the file. Change your filename
$file = "datafile1.txt";
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($file));



for ($i=0; $i=100; $i+10){


$word1='"cat_id';
$word2='"category"';



$a = strpos($contents, $word1);
$b = strpos($contents, $word2);

$between=substr($contents, $a, ($b - $a));

 echo $between;  

//////////////////////////////////



$word1='"category';
$word2='"name"';



$c = strpos($contents, $word1);
$d = strpos($contents, $word2);


$between=substr($contents, $c, ($d - $c));





echo $between;  
////////////////////////////////////

$word1='"name';
$word2='"description"';


$e = strpos($contents, $word1);
$f = strpos($contents, $word2);

$between=substr($contents, $e, ($f - $e));

echo $between;  
}
fclose($handle);

?>

i got a return

"cat_id": "16349", "category": "Adventure", "name": "Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - Xbox 360",

but it stops there. where there are repeated cat_id's and categories, and names of... well, computer games. i need to scan the entire text file so the search repeats itself. hopefully get a list out of the output. of the games and categories.

thanks.
