A very basic bit of html code to create a contact form on my website

I made my own website almost 20 years ago (just to point out that I do have basic html skills)
Actually at that time I just copied another website and changed the html for my purposes.

I let it go over the past 5 years or so and I can see that the contact form does not work and I need to replace it with another.

I don't have a secure site but I don't want my email address to be spammed and so I want to include a bit of protection with a small script.

Can anyone help or point me in a good direction?

I am struggling to create a php file that I have seen can be used with contact forms ( eg here : https://paperform.co/blog/html-contact-form/ )

When I fill out the that form I am redirected to the php file but I don't get an email even though my preferred email address is edited into the php file.

Maybe it is simpler if I use a cgi-bin or even just a script on the actual html page?
