I can't seem to make the Load Data statement work inside of a stored procedure.

ie 

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "file.txt" INTO my_table

this works fine in PHP, but when I use it in a procedure, and pass in
the file name as a parameter, it won't compile.

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE fileParameter INTO my_table

I think it's because the statement requires the file to be in quotes,
but if I concatenate the parameter into quotes, then it looks for the
EXACT variable string, not the file.

ie LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE ' +fileParam+ ' INTO my_table --this returns
an error saying it can't find the file "fileParam" :-).

I also tried creating a prepared statement and then executing it USING
my file parameters, but no luck either.

Thanks.
Any help is appreciated.
