You forgot the submit button. Just put inside the end of the form an <input type="submit" /> worked for me this way.

Wait a minute, I know what's your problem. PHP is a server side programming language, without having set up a server it won't work, download XAMP or use a free webhost like 000webhost in order to use PHP.
