PHP tags not working. Help!

I have made form the exact same as described in the PHP forms lesson in PHP fixed variables. But the <?php ?> code i wrote in the PHP file connected to the action of the form doesn't work and when I inspect the page it had commented it out... why? help!

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.
