How do you think it supposed to work?

This is not how it's done. In the simplest case, you can have an HTML form with the attribute method="post" and post some data to your server. Your PHP script should process this data, create a e-mail package and send it from the server side to the SMTP server:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php[^].

Now, a big warning for you: if you do it directly without proper validation, your host can be turned into a zombie sending spam, or something like that, in no time.

Please see my past answer for further detail:
unable to send mail , it showing the error in below code .[^].

Be safe.

thank you
so if i have some questions can i ask you??if yes send for me your email or something

You can address me through my Web site found in my profile; it has a "contact me" page, but I cannot promise anything. By the way, please be advised that publishing e-mail addresses on the Web means opening a door to spamming.

Also, I would advice you to ask me questions through this site, if you can, of course. If you send me notification on your question, I'll always read it and pay attention for your question. But if there is something you need to ask in private, I'll consider answering (again, no promises -- please understand that).
