Question

I need help to solve this problem:

I have a csv file like this

hello,ciao
goodbye,arrivederci

as you can see I try to create a translation system for a site
now I want this csv file into an array, the resultant array must be the same of $langArray

<?php $langArray = array([it]=>array([hello]=>ciao,[goodbye]=>arrivederci)); ?>

I already have a solution using a Json file to have an array like this, and is most usefull that a csv file and I can use translation system also with javascript. but I want to know the way to do that with a csv file thank you

For reading a CSV file you should use fopen and fgetcsv, or for the short version str_getcsv (needs current PHP or compat library):

 $csv = array_map("str_getcsv", file("it.csv"));

Then building the associative map requires a manual loop:

 foreach ($csv as $line)
     $translate["it"][ $line[0] ] = $line[1];
