Not sure why are you using that long-ass url for action instead of index.php or just ''? Also I think you need to specify ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" since it's an upload form for a file. Not sure how to just just insert the file, I think you need to get contents of the file, then explode it and do insert

$pfile = $_FILES['white']['name']; 
$ptmpName  = $_FILES['white']['tmp_name']; 
$fileSize = $_FILES['white']['size']; 
$fileType = $_FILES['white']['type']; 
$fp = fopen($ptmpName, 'r'); 
$content = fread($fp, $fileSize); 
$content = str_replace("\r\n", "\r", $content);
$Data_Lines = explode("\r",$content);

for ($n = 0; $n < (count($Data_Lines)-1);$n++){
$line =  addslashes($Data_Lines[$n]); 
$Value = explode(",",$line);
...//The you run insert  statements for $Value[1], $Value[2]...///

}

Or you can use fgetcsv - check this article: http://www.programmingfacts.com/import-csvexcel-data-mysql-database/
