There is a simple php-script:

<?php
  $email = "shift.mail@yandex.ru";
  $headers = "From: ".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']." <'no_reply@***.info'>\r\n";
  $headers = $headers."Content-type: text/html; charset=\"utf-8\"\r\n";
  $headers = $headers."Return-path: <'no_reply@***.info'>\r\n";
  $message = '<p>e-mail notify<p>';
  $subject = 'e-mail notify';
  $res =   mail( $email, $subject, $message, $headers );
?>

I need it for e-mail notify of my site. If I use it by url-field of my browser - it works fine (e-mail is sent). But if I try to use it by AJAX request, nothing works:

$.ajax({

        url: "email_notify.php",

    });

Also, I tried to use $.getJSON, $.post etc.

Could someone tell me, what is wrong with my code?

Thank you

PHP doesn't care in the slightest whether AJAX is being used or not. I see no reason that PHP script wouldn't work when requested by AJAX.

Have you verified that the AJAX request is executing successfully? If not, try using something like the Firebug addon in Firefox, or the developer tools for the other browsers, to monitor the request and see whether it is successfully requesting your PHP page.

Also, have your PHP page print out a message based on the success of the mail function and log that in your Javascript. It should help you see if there is a problem during the script execution.

FireBug shows RED string of the request in the console. it seems to me an error appears when $.ajax tries to start the php-script. But nevertheless I can not to correct this error. I see, that there is an error, but where the cause is?

Have you tried using the "error" property of the jQuery.ajax() call?

To just print the errors, this should be fine:

$.ajax({
	url: "email_notify.php",
	error: function(xhr, status, err) {
		console.log("Error: " + status);
		if (err) {
			console.log(" - " + err.message);
		}
	}
});

The request began work fine when I added parameters {async: false, type:'POST'} for $.ajax function
