JSON Success / Error message displaying on local server but not on godaddy server

Question

I have PHP 5.4.45 on my local server and PHP 5.4.45 on Godaddy server.

contact_p.php page sends all success/error messages properly for all valid/invalid data entered on contact.php form page. So I am able to print them on contact.php page.

Contact inquiry is inserted successfully into database table on both local and godaddy server, but success/error message is only displaying on my local web server and not on GoDaddy server.

So what may be the reason for this strange issue? Please advise so I can make necessary changes In my script and/or on server.

contact.php

<form name="contactForm" id="contactForm" novalidate>
<div class="control-group form-group">
    .
    .
    other fields like Name, Mail, Phone, captcha etc
    .
    .
    <div id="success"></div>
    <!-- For success/fail messages -->
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send Message</button>
</div>
</form>

contact.js

$(function() {

$("#contactForm input,#contactForm textarea ,#contactForm select").jqBootstrapValidation({
    preventSubmit: true,
    submitSuccess: function($form, event) {
        event.preventDefault(); 
        var subject = $("select#subject").val();
        var name = $("input#name").val();
        var phone = $("input#phone").val();
        var email = $("input#email").val();
        var message = $("textarea#message").val();
        var secretcode = $("input#secretcode").val();

        $.ajax({
            url: "./user/contact_p.php",

Your code seems pretty okay. Although it appears the $form variable in contact.js hasn't been defined. Could you verify?

Edit: Sorry, I didn't study your code much before my first answer. I think the issue is probably in your if() statement. Try trimming your $ResponseText_L.status to make sure there are no spaces within. Try if($ResponseText_L.status.trim() == 'SUC') { /display success message/ } else if($ResponseText_L.status.trim() == 'ERR') { /display error message/ } . Hope this helps!
