How do I return a proper success/error message for JQuery .ajax() using PHP?

by

You need to provide the right content type if you’re using JSON dataType. Before echo-ing the json, put the correct header.

<?php    
    header('Content-type: application/json');
    echo json_encode($response_array);
?>

Additional fix, you should check whether the query succeed or not.

if(mysql_query($query)){
    $response_array['status'] = 'success';  
}else {
    $response_array['status'] = 'error';  
}

On the client side:

success: function(data) {
    if(data.status == 'success'){
        alert("Thank you for subscribing!");
    }else if(data.status == 'error'){
        alert("Error on query!");
    }
},

Hope it helps.
