Just consolidate everything to the same php page, the form, the script etc: Copy code below, create a blank php file (no doctype - just blank) named feedback_form.php and paste in the code.

I tried with $from="myemail"; but that doesn't work.

can the page with the form itself be an html and the form action then a php form script?
By @LyaSmidtsx
Yes, if I remember correctly. It's a long time since I used .html file when using a php workflow. If you're using php as part of your workflow then all of your pages may as well be .php even if there is no php in them. The form script obviously needs to go into a .php page where you would point your forms action attribute to, you cant have the php script in the .html page
If you are going to use php to process the form then you have 2 options, use the default php mail function IF your server will allow or you may have to use PHPMailer library or similar as some hosts deem it more secure in the hands of amatuer coders and deactivate the default php mail function.

Just add the additional code marked in bold below:
$to="me@me.com";
$subject = "You have feedback";
$from = "whoever@whoever.com";
$feedback = "Letter from: ". $name . "\n";
$feedback .= "\nThey write: ". $message . "\n";
$headers = "From: $from";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8";
mail ($to, $subject, $feedback, $headers);
$success = true;
You dont really need the last 2 $headers, that's only if you intend to format the email as html.
