Unable to LOAD DATA INFILE

[Donovan]

$fileName = basename($_FILES['file_source']['name']);    
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file_source']['tmp_name'], $uploadFolder.$fileName);
$Studentfile = "$uploadFolder/$fileName";
//die();
if (file_exists($Studentfile) == false) {
        die('It doesn\'t exist!');
}

if (is_readable($Studentfile) == false) {
        die('It doesn\'t exist or we can\'t read it!');
} else {

$upload = $db->sql_query("LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '".$Studentfile."'
     INTO TABLE ".$prefix."$table_name 
     FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','           
     LINES TERMINATED BY '\r'"); 
if (!$upload) {echo("<p>Error performing query: " . mysql_error() . "</p>");}
}
}  

 

I am getting 

Error performing query: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version

 

and I've also gotten

 

"Can't get stat of 'Students.csv' (Errcode: 2)"

 

I've used this with and without LOCAL.

 

My website is on a different server than my MySQL database.  The powers that be says it cannot be moved onto the same server.  Why can't I load this file into MySQL?

 

If this wont work can somebody give me a jump start on a parse routine where I could do inserts one at a time on about 300 or 400 records?

I've also tried this but nothing happens.

 

$handle = fopen ($Studentfile, 'r');

	while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ',', '"')) !== FALSE)
	{
		$sql = $db->sql_query("INSERT INTO atlas_tl_students_temp VALUES ('". implode("','", $data)."')"); 			
	}

 

Nothing gets inserted.
