I don't understand what $template is supposed to contain. Can you give an
example of what it might look like and what you want to do with it?

And I am missing a }. should that be following the $hostarray assignment?
In that case you probably mean $hostarray[] = explode(",", $val);

This would leave you with $hostarray looking like:
$hostarray[0][0]: <row 0, field 0>
$hostarray[0][n]: <row 0, field n>
....
$hostarray[m][0]: <row m, field 0>
$hostarray[m][n]: <row m, field n>

Maybe it would be easier (not sure how your file was populated to begin
with) to serialize the arrays, write those to a file, read them in this
script and unserialize them again.
