Can't send mail through php in html

Question

I'm trying to develope a personal website as a projecet to one of my classes. I don't understand much of html so i actually can't make my php work. Please Help.

I've already tried copying and changing php codes from other fonts but nothing works...

This is the html code:

<div class="container">
   <form action="" method="POST">
      <input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name">
      <input type="text" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email">
      <textarea id="message" name="message" placeholder="Message" style="height:100px"></textarea>
      <input type="submit" value="Send">
   </form>
</div>

I didn't copy the code right!! PLEASE HELP!! Here is the right code in html: — Matias, May 28 '19 at 13:44

<form action="" method="POST">
      <input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name">
      <input type="text" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email">
      <textarea id="message" name="message" placeholder="Message" style="height:100px"></textarea>
      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send">
</form>

<?php
   if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
      $name = $_POST['name'];
      $email = $_POST['email'];
      $message = $_POST['message'];

      $to_email = $email; // mail whom you want to send
      $subject = ''; // your subject for sending email
      $message = $name.' sent you message. <br><br>'.$message;
      $headers = 'From: noreply@company.com'; // your mail id

      mail($to_email,$subject,$message,$headers);

      echo "This email is sent using PHP Mail";
   }
?>

Use this above code, this will pass the name, email, message to mail function. Hope this helps you.

While this code may answer the question, providing additional context regarding why and/or how this code answers the question improves its long-term value. A ***good answer*** will always have an explanation of what was done and why it was done in such a manner, not only for the OP but for future visitors to SO. — Jay Blanchard, May 28 '19 at 14:14
