Try this....

In PHP it is often useful to be able to read a CSV file and access it’s data. That is where the fgetcsv() function comes in handy, it will read each line of a CSV file and assign each value into an ARRAY. You can define the separator in the function as well see PHP docs for fgetcsv() for more options and examples.

  function readCSV($csvFile){
        $file_handle = fopen($csvFile, 'r');
        while (!feof($file_handle) ) {
            $line_of_text[] = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024);
        }
        fclose($file_handle);
        return $line_of_text;
    }


    // Set path to CSV file
    $csvFile = 'test.csv';

    $csv = readCSV($csvFile);
    echo '
';
    print_r($csv);
    echo '
';
