How can you create a multidimensional array from a CSV file in PHP?

When working with CSV files in PHP, you may need to convert the data into a multidimensional array for easier manipulation. To achieve this, you can use the `fgetcsv()` function to read each row of the CSV file and store it as an array. You can then push each row array into a parent array to create the multidimensional structure. 

// Open the CSV file for reading
$file = fopen('data.csv', 'r');

// Initialize an empty array to store the data
$data = [];

// Loop through each row in the CSV file
while (($row = fgetcsv($file)) !== false) {
    // Push each row into the data array
    $data[] = $row;
}

// Close the file
fclose($file);

// Output the multidimensional array
print_r($data);
