    I've had alot of projects recently dealing with csv files, so I created the following class to read a csv file and return an array of arrays with the column names as keys. The only requirement is that the 1st row contain the column headings.

    I only wrote it today, so I'll probably expand on it in the near future.

    <?php
    class CSVparse
    {
    var     $mappings = array();

    function     parse_file($filename)
    {
    $id = fopen($filename, "r"); //open the file
    $data = fgetcsv($id, filesize($filename)); /*This will get us the */
    /*main column names */

    if(!$this->mappings)
    $this->mappings = $data;

    while(    $data = fgetcsv($id, filesize($filename)))
    {
    if(    $data[0])
    {
    foreach(    $data as $key => $value)
    $converted_data[$this->mappings[$key]] = addslashes($value);
    $table[] = $converted_data; /* put each line into */
    } /* its own entry in */
    } /* the $table array */
    fclose($id); //close file
    return $table;
    }
    }
    ?>
