Having trouble with load data local infile writing to database

I am new to php and mysqli, and am attempting to put together a stats site for a game that I play. In a nut shell this code 1) looks up by user (via URL) the last X sorties (1 here but can change to any number), 2) Curl's that result, 3) places it into /tmp/sorties.csv, then 4) loads data local infle /tmp/sortie.csv to my database.

It does connect to the database (member table) and look up by member/player name (echos back in "updating for"), as well as the game information (shows 1 sortie per player who has data in the game database) --I've commented out the header so as to see what is echod back.

my site is hosted buy a 3rd party, but is using sql 5.5.32, php 5.3.13, and is a Linux/Debian platform. Any (and all) assistance is greatly appreciated, I actually wrote the vast majority of this by using some of the questions and answers provided here. I do have an only MySQL version of this code that is having the same error (started not working 2 days ago) and am hoping that updating to mysqli will correct the issue. The database fields do match both in number and data-type.

For those curios, the eventual output is at http://ift.tt/1R652Io - after being sorted by date of last login (it's not yet the best looking/functioning site, but it's getting better -- slowly)

//header("Location: /hcman/delsorties.php"); //After sorties put into database - clears any that are not valid
include 'Data/openi.php';

//Collect player name info
$query = "SELECT name FROM Members";
$result=$link->query($query); 

// Array
$rows = array();
    while($row = $result->fetch_array()) 
        {
          $rows[] =$row['name'];
        }

// collect sortie data
foreach ($rows as $player) 
{ 
$url = "http://ift.tt/1NxciYd".$player."&startsortie=0&sortiecount=1";
$path = '/tmp/sortie.csv' ;
// echo Player name -- works
echo "<br /><br />Updating for ".$player."<br />" ; 

//Curl to tmp file (aka $path)    
$ch = curl_init($url);
 if($ch === false)
     {
     die('Failed to create curl handle');
     }
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $url);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
 $result=curl_exec($ch);
 if(!curl_exec($ch))
    {
    die('Error: "' . curl_error($ch) . '" - Code: ' . curl_errno($ch));
    }
 curl_close($ch);
 file_put_contents($path,$result );

//show sortie (post Curl) data on screen -- Works 
 echo $result  ;

// Input to the database -- Not working

 $sqli = "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/sortie.csv'

                 LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
                 " ;

$done=$link->query($sqli);
if (!$done) echo mysqli_error($sqli);
