Перенаправление модальной формы на мой php-скрипт

Я пытаюсь перенаправить свою модальную форму на свой php-скрипт, я использовал действие, но по какой-то причине кнопка просто нажимает и останавливается.

<form action = "action.php" method = "post" role = "form" target = "action.php">

  <div class = "form-group">
    <label for = "exampleInputEmail1">Email address</label>
    <input class = "form-control" id = "exampleInputEmail1" placeholder = "Enter email" type = "email" />
  </div>

  <div class = "form-group">
    <label for = "exampleInputPassword1">Password</label>
    <input class = "form-control" id = "exampleInputPassword1" placeholder = "Password" type = "password" />
  </div>

  <!-- Form submit button -->
  <button class = "btn btn-primary" data-target = "action.php" data-toggle = "button" type = "submit">Submit</button>

</form>

</div> <!-- opened somewhere else -->
</div> <!-- opened somewhere else -->

<p>
  <!-- Opens the modal -->
  <button class = "btn btn-light" data-target = "#surveymodal" data-toggle = "modal" type = "button">Submit</button>

  <script src = "assets/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src = "assets/js/popper.js"></script>
  <script src = "bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</p>

</body>
