/**
 * @return mixed[]
 */
public function csvToArray(string $delimiter, string $filename = ''): array
{
    $data = [];
    if (file_exists($filename) && is_readable($filename)) {
        $header = null;

        if (($handle = fopen($filename, 'r')) !== false) {
            while (($row = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, $delimiter)) !== false) {
                if (!$header) {
                    $header = $row;
                } else {
                    $data[] = array_combine($header, $row);
                }
            }
            fclose($handle);
        }
    }

    return $data;
