If you don't want to use an AJAX call (?... see comments), There is a classic way to submit your form, but this results in reloading the actual page:

The form is in the same script as the logic is. In your case, that would be readFile.php.

Use the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] as form action:

<form action=<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?> method=post enctype=multipart/form-data>

    <label for=file>Filename:</label> <input type=file name=csv id=csv/>

    <input type= submit value=immport /> 

</form>

The form will be submitted to the actual page. From the docs:

$_SERVER is an array containing information such as headers, paths,
and script locations.

...

'PHP_SELF' The filename of the currently executing script, relative to
the document root....
