My knees fall when I do push-ups?. Is it weakness, or bad form?

I've just started doing push-ups, and whenever I am approaching a 0-degree angle (so my elbows and shoulders are about even) my knees collapse to the ground. This is, of course, not ideal. 

Is it because I'm too weak, and as I get better this will go away, or is it because I'm doing something wrong?
