What is the best way to skip the first line of a CSV file when reading and processing it in PHP?

When reading a CSV file in PHP, you can skip the first line by using the `fgetcsv()` function to read and discard the first line before processing the rest of the file. This function reads a line from the file pointer (in this case, the CSV file) and parses it as CSV fields. By calling `fgetcsv()` once before entering a loop to process the rest of the file, you effectively skip the first line. 

$filename = 'example.csv';
$handle = fopen($filename, 'r');

// Skip the first line
fgetcsv($handle);

// Process the rest of the file
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle)) !== false) {
    // Process each line of the CSV file here
}

fclose($handle);
