fading out php echo messages - php

Question

I want to fade out php echo message. Here is my php code:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$to = 'ajay.k#enexl.com';
if (filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { // this line checks that we have a valid email address
$mailSubject = "Contact request from " .$name;
$txt = "name : ".$name.".\n\nSubject : ".$subject.".\n\nMail id : ".$email."\n\nMessage : ".$message;
$headers = "From: ".$email ;
mail($to,$mailSubject,$txt,$headers);
$data = array();
$data['status'] = 'success';
//echo json_encode($data);
echo "<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js'></script>";
echo "<p id='#text'>Your email was sent! One of our team members would contact you shortly!</p>"; // success message
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
echo "$(function(){";
echo "$('#text').fadeOut(5000);";
echo "});";
echo "</script>";
}
else{
echo "Mail was not sent, make sure that all fields are filled in";
}
?>
When the form data gets submitted, successfully, I get the response as Your email was sent! One of our team members would contact you shortly!. However it doesn't fade out as expected. How can I make it fade out?

Answer 1

Dont use # in you id qualifier. #text says to find an element with id text not #text
echo "<p id='#text'>Your email was sent! One of our team members would contact you shortly!</p>"; // success message
should be
echo "<p id='text'>Your email was sent! One of our team members would contact you shortly!</p>"; // success message
