HTML:

Javascript ajax:

 success: function(response) {
    $('#ajaxResults').text(response);

this script you've wrote is only if the validation succeeds, right?

Wrong. The code in "success" gets executed any time you get a response back from the server (assuming the HTTP header is 200). Does your javascript knows if the server has any error for you? No.

You need your JavaScript to recognize if the validation failed or succeeded. You have many ways to do that. One of these could be sending the message to display followed by a 0 or 1.

So your PHP will looks like:

return "0 " . $errorMessage;

and

return "1 " . $successMessage;

and your javascript should then recognize, with if statement and substring, if the message starts with 0 or with 1.
