Can't you just do one fgetcsv call first to get the headers, and then start a loop to get the rest?

Modified the example found in the manual. It should write out a table with headers and values following.

';

    // Get headers
    if (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ',')) !== FALSE)
    {
        echo ''.implode('', $data).'';
    }

    // Get the rest
    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ',')) !== FALSE)
    {
        echo ''.implode('', $data).'';
    }
    fclose($handle);
    echo '';
}
