Are you just trying to upload the file to a folder?
Or do you plan to upload the file, then import it into a mysql db?

This may be a silly question, but have you read up on the "File Uploading Class" in the user guide?
If not, you should check it out, its a short read with code examples.
Here's a link to the page: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...ading.html

I'm a bit tied up at the moment, but once I get sometime later, I'll tweak one of my upload controllers to suit you needs & paste the code here if you like. Somebody will probably beat me to it though, because the people here are normally very helpful from what I've seen.
