PHP convert CSV to associative arrays

Something handy when importing CSV files:

<?php

$csv = array_map('str_getcsv', file($file));
array_walk($csv, function(&$a) use ($csv) {
   $a = array_combine($csv[0], $a);
});
array_shift($csv); # remove column header

?>

This will yield something like this – keys are the fields/ table header of the CSV file.
