}).find('.valid').each(function() {
$(this).remove('label.valid');
})
} else if (response.type == 'error') {
$("#contactForm").before("<div class='alert alert-danger' role='alert'><a href='#' class='close' data-dismiss='alert'>×</a>" + response.text + "</div>");
$(ajaxform).find('[name="submit"]').html('<i class="fa fa-paper-plane fa-fw"></i> Send');

And my PHP code is :

$output = json_encode(array( //create JSON data
'type' => 'error',
'text' => 'Sorry Request must be Ajax POST'
));
die($output); //exit script outputting json data
}

$phone_number = filter_var($_POST["phone"], FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
$message = filter_var($_POST["message"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
//additional php validation
if (strlen($user_name) < 4) { // If length is less than 4 it will output JSON error.
$output = json_encode(array(
'type' => 'error',
'text' => 'Name is too short or empty!'
));
die($output);
}
if (!filter_var($user_email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { //email validation

}
//email subject
$subject = 'New mail via contact form';

$message_body = $message . "
