I have csv file like this:
data,IF,VVS1,VVS2
D,23,17,15
E,17,15,14
What i need is to convert this CSV into JSON but to look like this:
{"D" : {"IF":"23", "VVS1":"17", "VVS2":"15"},"E" : {"IF":"17", "VVS1":"15", "VVS2":"14"}}
Any help?

those answers were setting each row as an object, but problem was that I needed first column to be "key" of the nested object.iva– iva2014-02-10 08:42:22 +00:00Commented Feb 10, 2014 at 8:42

/* Lets suppose, the csv file is, mydata.scv */
<?php
$mydata = array();
if($file = fopen("mydata.csv","r")){
$csvheaders = fgetcsv($file);
while(($row = fgetcsv($file)) !== FALSE){
$arr = array();
for($i=1; $i<count($csvheaders); $i++){
$arr[$csvheaders[$i]] = $row[$i];
}
$mydata[$row[0]] = $arr;
}
fclose($file);
// encode $mydata array into json to get result in the required format
$mydatainformat = json_encode($mydata);
echo $mydatainformat; // This is your output.
}
?>

Maybe help you, but I recommend add error handling.
<?php
$file = fopen('test.csv', 'r');
$header = fgetcsv($file);
array_shift($header);
$data = array();
while ($row = fgetcsv($file))
{
$key = array_shift($row);
$data[$key] = array_combine($header, $row);
}
echo json_encode($data);
fclose($file);
