Answer 1

I have used following function to parse csv string to associative array

public function csvToArray($file) {
    $rows = array();
    $headers = array();
    if (file_exists($file) && is_readable($file)) {
        $handle = fopen($file, 'r');
        while (!feof($handle)) {
            $row = fgetcsv($handle, 10240, ',', '"');
            if (empty($headers))
                $headers = $row;
            else if (is_array($row)) {
                array_splice($row, count($headers));
                $rows[] = array_combine($headers, $row);
            }
        }
        fclose($handle);
    } else {
        throw new Exception($file . ' doesn`t exist or is not readable.');
    }
    return $rows;
}

if your csv file name is mycsv.csv then you call this function as:

$dataArray = csvToArray(mycsv.csv);

You can convert CSV string to Array with this function.

    function csv2array(
        $csv_string,
        $delimiter = ",",
        $skip_empty_lines = true,
        $trim_fields = true,
        $FirstLineTitle = false
    ) {
        $arr = array_map(
            function ( $line ) use ( &$result, &$FirstLine, $delimiter, $trim_fields, $FirstLineTitle ) {
                if ($FirstLineTitle && !$FirstLine) {
                    $FirstLine = explode( $delimiter, $result[0] );
                }
                $lineResult = array_map(
                    function ( $field ) {
                        return str_replace( '!!Q!!', '"', utf8_decode( urldecode( $field ) ) );
                    },
                    $trim_fields ? array_map( 'trim', explode( $delimiter, $line ) ) : explode( $delimiter, $line )
                );
                return $FirstLineTitle ? array_combine( $FirstLine, $lineResult ) : $lineResult;
            },
            ($result = preg_split(
                $skip_empty_lines ? ( $trim_fields ? '/( *\R)+/s' : '/\R+/s' ) : '/\R/s',
                preg_replace_callback(
                    '/"(.*?)"/s',
                    function ( $field ) {
                        return urlencode( utf8_encode( $field[1] ) );
                    },
                    $enc = preg_replace( '/(?<!")""/', '!!Q!!', $csv_string )
                )
            ))
        );
        return $FirstLineTitle ? array_splice($arr, 1) : $arr;
    }

Try this, it's working for me:

$delimiter = ",";
  $enclosure = '"';
  $escape = "\\" ;
  $rows = array_filter(explode(PHP_EOL, $content));
  $header = NULL;
  $data = [];

  foreach($rows as $row)
  {
    $row = str_getcsv ($row, $delimiter, $enclosure , $escape);

    if(!$header) {
      $header = $row;
    } else {
      $data[] = array_combine($header, $row);
    }
  }

Handy oneliner:

$csv = array_map('str_getcsv', file('data.csv'));
