well first of all, success/error handling in javascript checking if ajax call successful, second - not checking if mail function succeeded , return true in case
it should be
if( mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ) return true; else return false; after check returned value in ajax callback
success: function(response){ if(response === true){ /* stuff */ } } i've uploaded code server , seems work fine, xampp on other hand - didnt send mail. think forgot configure mail part, it's been while since used mail function locally
