        $resp = recaptcha_check_answer (PRIVATEKEY, $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"], $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
        if ($resp->is_valid) {

            $header = 'From: ' . $email . " \r\n";
            $msg = "Sent from: " . $name . "\r\n";
            $msg .= "Email: " . $email . " \r\n";
            $msg .= "Phone: " . $phone . " \r\n";
            $msg .= "Contact reason:" . $reason . " \r\n";
            $msg .= "Message: " . $message . " \r\n";

            $to = '[email protected]';
            $subject = 'Emailmakers contact page';

            mail($to, $subject, utf8_decode($msg), $header);

             ?>success<?


        }
        else 
        {
        die ("The reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Go back and try it again." .
           "(reCAPTCHA said: " . $resp->error . ")");

}
}

Using PHP mean refreshing the page (only in case of ajax) so i suggest you try to use javascript instead of php to this task

Use the reset() function. If you have a form named frm then use can use frm.reset(). Or just write code to first get all textboxes and set its value attribute to "". this wont need to refresh your page

Well, once you sed the ajax request if the captcha fails then just reload the entire form.

Say you have only the form in myform.php and you include it in your main page, when the captcha does not match you can just reload the form. Like this:

if (html != "Success")
{
     $("#divThatHoldsTheForm").html(html)
}

and in your myform.php you have only:

<form action="..." method="POST">
  <!-- some inputs -->
</form>
