Send Ajax data to PHP

I have the following jQuery code on my page: 

function ajaxFunction() {
$.ajax({
  url:'location.php',
  type:'POST',
  data:'lat='+lat+'&long='+long,
  success:function(d){
    console.log(d);
  },
  error(w,t,f){
    console.log(w+' '+t+' '+f);
  }
});
}

Now what should I put in the location.php to make the data go to my email box? I'm a total noob and looking up codes or tutorials won't work because I don't understand it...

Also can I just let the page redirect to another page if the Script is done? Can I just add:

window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com";

Or should I put more code... I found all these coeds on the internet because I don't understand anything, so could you please help me?

In your location.php, you could do something like this to make the data received by php script to go to your email box:

$messageBody = "lat: " . $_POST['lat'] . " long: " . $_POST['long'];
if (mail("[email protected]", "The Subject Line", $messageBody)) {
    echo "success";
    exit;
}

Check out the link for more info on mail() function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

To redirect:

function ajaxFunction(lat, long) {
$.ajax({
  url:'location.php',
  type:'POST',
  data:'lat='+lat+'&long='+long,
  success:function(d){
    // When the ajax call is successful, the redirection should happen here
    window.location = "http://stackoverflow.com";
  },
  error(w,t,f){
    // this is when the ajax call fails
    console.log(w+' '+t+' '+f);
  }
});
}

You can use the mail() function in PHP to send an email.
You also need to fix your JS code - unless you actually made lat and long global variables they'll be undefined.
