@nevermind4 has spotted it right - you are missing name attribute on first input.

This does not have to be the real problem here though, can you please enable error reporting to see what is breaking your script?

Secondly mail returns true on success, false otherwise. Display of that message should be conditional, on false you should display a different one.

If you see PHP code in the browser then PHP interpreter surely did not processed your code. Even if the PHP is not working / buggy the interpreter will never let the code appear on the client side. So that sounds like, your web server configuration is incomplete, or you see the form page out of the server's scope. Make sure the form html (but at least) the PHP file is in the server's document root directory or subdirectory or a properly configured vhost's path. Plus check your PHP running correctly by some simpler code, like
