I made this quick solution using fgetcsv, works fine and it's easier to read and understand. Then the whole result is saved in the $csv array

$csv = array();
$i = 0;
if (($handle = fopen($upload['file'], "r")) !== false) {
    $columns = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",");
    while (($row = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== false) {
        $csv[$i] = array_combine($columns, $row);
        $i++;
    }
    fclose($handle);
}
