CSV to JSON with PHP?

Question

I need to convert a CSV file to JSON on the server using PHP. I am using this script which works:

function csvToJSON($csv)

Well there is the json_encode() function, which you should use rather than building up the JSON output yourself. And there is also a function str_getcsv() for parsing CSV:

$array = array_map("str_getcsv", explode("\n", $csv));
print json_encode($array);

You must however adapt the $array if you want the JSON output to hold named fields.
