Answer 1

you can use the fgetcsv function:

if (($handle = fopen("inputfile.csv", "r")) !== false) {
    $filesize = filesize("inputfile.csv");
    $firstRow = true;
    $aData = array();
    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, $filesize, ";")) !== false) {
        if($firstRow) {
            $aData = $data;
            $firstRow = false;
        } else {
            for($i = 0;$i < count($data); $i++) {
                $aData[$i][] = $data[$i];
            }
        }
    }
    fclose($handle);
}

so you will get an multidimensional array with first row of headers.
