Take a read through the userguide again dimasVS, I think it'll be helpful.
After you've read it, if things still aren't clear, could you show me the code you'd use to pass $name into the "new_person()" function of the following model? Notice that I'm taking File Uploading completely out of the equation.
Code:
$this->load->model('people_model');
$name = "Derek";
$this->people_model->new_person();
