Answer 1

Here's a function that reads a csv file and returns an array of items that contain the first two column data values.

This function could read a file of first_name,last_name for example.

function processFile ($filename) {
    $rtn = array();

    if (($handle = fopen($filename, "r")) !== FALSE) {
        while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
            $item = array();
            $item[] = $data[0];
            $item[] = $data[1];
            $rtn[] = $item;
        }
    }
    return $rtn;
 }
