CSV to Array PHP

Question

I know there are a lot of resources out there for putting a CSV into an associative array, but I can't find anything that helps a noob like me do exactly what I want to do.

I currently have an associative array defined inside my PHP file:

$users = array(
    'v4f25' => 'Stan Parker', 
    'ntl35' => 'John Smith',
 );

I would like to move that array into a CSV file (users.txt) so:

 v4f25, Stan Parker
 ntl35, John Smith

The next step is to import users.txt so I can use it precisely like I was using the array $users.

Any help here? The last code I tried returned this: (which is not what I want)

 array(2) {
 ["v4f25"]=>
  string(5) "ntl35"
 ["Stan Parker"]=>
 string(10) "John Smith"
}

What about the following?

$data = array();

if ($fp = fopen('csvfile.csv', 'r')) {
    while (!feof($fp)) {
        $row = fgetcsv($fp);

        $data[$row[0]] = $row[1];
    }

    fclose($fp);
}
