Please i want to know what's wrong in this html code to execute my python script via internet.

<html>
<head>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['LightON']))
{
exec("sudo python /var/www/lighton.py");
}
if (isset($_POST['LightOFF']))
{
exec("sudo python /var/www/lightoff.py");
}
?>

<form method="post">
<button class="btn" name="LightON">Light ON</button>
<button class="btn" name="LightOFF">Light OFF</button><br><br>
<br><br><br><br>
</form>
</html>

This has several issues:
It looks to be PHP. Do you have this on your pi?
Usually PHP is server side code and not visible on the client side or in the browser.
Do you really really want to allow SUDO from the web? This is a hackers dream to see and exploit! A better although a bit complicated way would be to change a file like light.txt to on/off and let the python script read it in the background to perform the task.

If you want a simpler way to control the light take a look at REST API in http://lmgtfy.com/?q=raspberry+pi+rest+server
