Redirect link in index.html

Not sure where i am going wrong here...

I have a form that has a php file that is actioned when submit is pressed. Basically there are two fields, one is the url and the other the file name that the php file will create.

I need to amend a html file, with the url several times a week, but would also like to create new file for backup.

I have the following two files.. 

    <form action="action_page.php">
    YT Link:<br>
    <input type="text" name="ytlink" value="www.google.com">
    <br>
    File Name:<br>
    <input type="text" name="FName" value="test">
    <br><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>

and the php file..

    <?php
    $myfile = fopen("$FName", "w");
    $txt = "text update here\n";
    fwrite($myfile, $txt);
    fclose($myfile);
    ?>

But when i run the form it does nothing.. any help would be much appreciated. As you can see i am very new to php.

Thanks in advance.

you forgot to take the value in post 

<?php
$Fname= $_POST['Fname']; //add this line
$myfile = fopen("$FName", "w");
$txt = "text update here\n";
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
fclose($myfile);
?>
