I've had alot of projects recently dealing with csv files, so I created the following class to read a csv file and return an array of arrays with the column names as keys. The only requirement is that the 1st row contain the column headings. 

I only wrote it today, so I'll probably expand on it in the near future. 

<?php
class CSVparse
  {
  var $mappings = array();

  function parse_file($filename)
    {
    $id = fopen($filename, "r"); //open the file
    $data = fgetcsv($id, filesize($filename)); /*This will get us the */
                                               /*main column names */

    if(!$this->mappings)
       $this->mappings = $data;

    while($data = fgetcsv($id, filesize($filename)))
        {
         if($data[0])
           {
            foreach($data as $key => $value)
               $converted_data[$this->mappings[$key]] = addslashes($value);
            $table[] = $converted_data; /* put each line into */
             }                                 /* its own entry in    */
         }                                     /* the $table array    */
    fclose($id); //close file
    return $table;
    }
  }
?>
