CSV to Associative Array

Question

I\'ve seen numerous examples on how to take a CSV file and then create an associative array with the headers as the keys.

For example:

Brand,Model,Pa

Try this simple algorithm:

        $assocData = array();

        if( ($handle = fopen( $importedCSVFile, "r")) !== FALSE) {
            $rowCounter = 0;
            while (($rowData = fgetcsv($handle, 0, ",")) !== FALSE) {
                if( 0 === $rowCounter) {
                    $headerRecord = $rowData;
                } else {
                    foreach( $rowData as $key => $value) {
                        $assocData[ $rowCounter - 1][ $headerRecord[ $key] ] = $value;  
                    }
                }
                $rowCounter++;
            }
            fclose($handle);
        }

        var_dump( $assocData);
