jQuery Forum

this example
http://www.bitrepository.com/a-simple-ajax-contact-form-with-php-validation.html

is not working in my local php environment.. I don't see 'success' msg...  I don't have php env online, so can't post a functioning example..
http://mayacove.com/ajax_jq/index.html

php files:
http://mayacove.com/ajax_jq/contact_php.txt
http://mayacove.com/ajax_jq/functions.php
http://mayacove.com/ajax_jq/config_php.txt

it does connect to contact.php, b/c at bottom of contact.php I put "this is contact.php" and that shows where success content should go....

main thing I don't get is this line:


also this line


and, is the php back-end supposed to send an email? b/c in config.php you have to hard-code an email address, which I did, but I haven't gotten any emails (also don't see code to send email in php..)
    [ e d i t : I take this back,  I see it now...   I still don't see how str 'OK' is passed to 'msg' variable on the front-end though... ]

this must be an old example/tutorial, markup does not follow today's standards, but am having a hard time finding jQuery/ajax scripts online that work...

thank you...
