[quote author="puddles" date="1255289050"]1) Understanding where the logic goes - in the view or in the controller?[/quote]
Have a look at the user guide: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...w/mvc.html
There should be little to no logic in the view!


[quote author="puddles" date="1255289050"]2) What is the easiest way to take an array of a row's data (which has 31 fields), and insert it into a database using ActiveRecord?[/quote]
If the array is associative, it's as simple as
Code:
$this->db->insert($array);
User guide: active_record.html#insert


[quote author="puddles" date="1255289050"]3) Is there a way to add array items to each row so that I can supplement the data that was provided in the actual .csv file?[/quote]
I don't know if I understood you correctly, but you can serialize an array and save the result to the database.
