My PHP email form code is working though, but the output after submitting the message is not correct.
After sending a message it is poping an “OK” echo on a blank page (URL www.domain.com/mailform.php), instead of fading out the contact form on the page and fading in the “successful sent” message, without changing the URL.
Where is the bug in the code? :(
