Can someone help with code to submit form directly to an email address

Can someone help me with this please.  Trying to embed html into the body of an email with this form.  I need them to be able to click "submit" and the results be send directly to my email (or somewhere else only I can access).  I could also use help with sending an email with the html in the body rather than as an attachment.  This is my code:

   <form method="post" action=action="form-to-email.php">

  <div class="ax-border name ">

    <input type="text" id="name" class="si-text-field form-textbox " placeholder="Full name">

</div>

    </label>

    <div class="ax-border phone ">

      <input type="text" id="phone"   form-textbox"

        placeholder="Phone number">

<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>

      </form>

<?php$to="ryanmandree@gmail.com";?>

I appreciate any and all help.

Thank you

Have a look at Alt-Web Design & Publishing: Responsive Contact Form with Bootstrap 3.2 and PHP (Part 1)

If you don't have access to a web server that supports form processing scripts, use a 3rd party service like Wufoo.com.

You cannot put a form into an email and expect it to work.  The form and processing script must reside on a web server.   Email recipients must click a link that takes them to the website.

Hello Ryan,

you could use this code from w3schools >>> Tryit Editor v3.5   >>> (I quote):

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<h2>HTML Forms</h2>

<form action="/action_page.php">

  First name:<br>

  <input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey">

  <br>

  Last name:<br>

  <input type="text" name="lastname" value="Mouse">

  <br><br>

  <input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

<p>If you click the "Submit" button, the form-data will be sent to a page called "/action_page.php".</p>

</body>

</html>

... of interest from above see: If you click the "Submit" button, the form-data will be sent to a page called "/action_page.php".
