How to make a contact from work with HTML and PHP

[johned]

I have made a simple contact form with HTML and PHP. I uploaded both files to my server but it still does not send when I try to send a e-mail. How are they supposed to be linked? For example I know how to link a html and css file together but I cannot see anywhere where it shows how the PHP file is linked to the HTML file. I have attached my code below (the PHP code is in the javascript box)

Where am I going wrong?
Thanks in advance

Looks like the script is part of this tutorial. It explains everything https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tMmXzjJWlnU

Thanks for your reply
Yes I followed the video but I dont understand the putting the files on the server part at 12.45.
This is the problem I have been having from the start. Do I just put both the html and php file in the public_html file in hostgator or do I link it to something else?
Right now I placed both files in the public_html and it still does not work.
Thanks

“Does not work” isn’t enough info to diagnose the problem.

Things you can check;

• filenames must match those used in the code EXACTLY, including letter case, both in the file name and extension

• file path must be correct. If in doubt use absolute paths in the code

• check your server error logs for reasons why the script is failing
