Problems with sending data through HTML forms

Hi, I tried to create a Contact form that would send an email with php but everytime I press the Send button, I get an error message saying 405 Not Allowed. I am running the page on Github and the protocol is HTTPS. Could that be the reason why? Hope someone has an idea why im getting such an error.

<?php

$userName = $_POST['userName'];
$userEmail = $_POST['userEmail']; 
$userMessage = $_POST['userMessage']; 

$to = "myemail@mail.com";
$subject = "New Message";

mail ($to, $subject, $userMessage, "From: " . $userName);
echo "Your message has been sent"; 
?>

Github Pages only support static content so they don't allow PHP code.
