Your code is running even without closing form tag. But below is the formal way to use form.

<form method='post' action="">
    Username: <input name="username"><br>
    Password: <input name="password"><br>
    <input type = 'submit' name = 'submit' value = 'click me'>
</form>

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

    echo "Pressed button";
}
?>

you need to add form tag and in action tag of form give your php page name. Here is index.php but you need to specify your own script name.

     <form name="form1" method="post" action="index.php">
    Username: <input name="username"><br>
    Password: <input name="password"><br>


    <input type = 'submit' name = 'submit' value = 'click me'>
    </form>


    <?php

    if (isset($_POST['submit'])){

        echo "Pressed button";


    }

You missed the tag <form></form>. Therefore it is not working
