Okay, the back story is we are creating a completely new application based on a very complicated Excel based spreadsheet an engineer designed to record the data collected from users.
The program essentially trends this data. It will be entered manually as well as collected from the device as I mentioned. The part I'm trying to spec in my head is how I'll allow the user to take their CSV data file and add it the application? I am new in this area, so I'm in the learning curve. There will be so much data collected that setting up a MySQL database to store it will be necessary. So I need to understand the best way to let user upload a file and for me to be able to add the data to the database. Everything would have to done by the Flex application - or php scripts within flex. Not sure how else to explain it. You could provide a general example of importing data to a database from a CSV source. It would be saved directly to the database, then be accessible via other modules of the application to trend the data into a graph. The application will just be a graphical version of the spreadsheet really.
