I suggest you to use below mentioned library. This will help you address above issue also it will decrease lines of code in your controller.
https://github.com/parsecsv/parsecsv-for-php
This will help you.
If you worried about how to use than check below mentioned code.
$this->load->library('Parsecsv');
$csv = new Parsecsv($file);
$users = $csv->data;
$noOfUsers = count($users);
foreach($users as $user):
if(!empty($user)):
// Write your code
endif;
endforeach;
