How can I execute php as an post on a MVC C# application?

Question

I have a simple C# asp.net MVC5 project with some bootstrap and other fancy css plugins.

I have little experience with this so I may have missed some basic logic.

So I have this fancy php that will send a styled e-mail to our customers.

The way the view is set up is like this:

<form (...) method="post" action="sendemail.php">

As you can see, it really does not make sence to post to "sendemail.php" in a C# MVC application.

I do, however, want to use the logic set in sendemail.php to send this email. I am not able to map in the sendemail.php to a controller/view (because it only(?) accepts .cshtml).

Anyone have any ideas how I can do this?

This is the complete code in the form on the Contact.cshtml file:

<form id="main-contact-form" class="contact-form" name="contact-form" method="post" action="sendemail.php">
                <div class="col-sm-5 col-sm-offset-1">
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Name *</label>
                        <input type="text" name="name" class="form-control" required="required">
                    </div>
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Email *</label>
                        <input type="email" name="email" class="form-control" required="required">
                    </div>
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Phone</label>
                        <input type="number" class="form-control">
                    </div>
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Company Name</label>
                        <input type="text" class="form-control">
                    </div>                        
                </div>
                <div class="col-sm-5">
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Subject *</label>
                        <input type="text" name="subject" class="form-control" required="required">
                    </div>
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Message *</label>
                        <textarea name="message" id="message" required="required" class="form-control" rows="8"></textarea>
                    </div>                        
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <button type="submit" name="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" required="required">Submit Message</button>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </form>

This is very simple, because after all it is all about a POST request.

It does not matter what the post server side programming language is.

Simply post your request to the PHP script, then redirect it back to your MVC application.
