action is entered in the box of the form- that is true

The script is entered into the thankyou page which in this case is called action.php

Therefore, you need to make the thank you page and then place the php code into that page via properties>page html>place inbewteen the body tag

Then name make sure it has .php as an extension and name the page action and then save and publish.
