Contact form working partially - php

Question

i need some help with this contact form im trying to fix.
The thing is that it works... kinda. i do get the messages but no success confirmation. the form just fades out a lil' bit and get's stuck i guess but the message does go through.
Any ideas of what im missing here?
<form action="#" id="contact-form">
<div class="input-group name-email">
<div class="input-field">
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Naam/Bedrijf" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="input-field">
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Email" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="input-field">
<input type="phone" name="phone" id="phone" placeholder="Telefoon" class="form-control">
</div>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<textarea name="message" id="message" placeholder="Bericht" class="form-control"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="submit" id="form-submit" class="pull-right" value="Verzenden ">
</div>
</form>
that is my form script
$('#contact-form').validate({
rules: {
name: {
required: true,
minlength: 2
},
email: {
required: true,
email: true
},
message: {
required: true
}
},
messages: {
name: {
required: "name",
minlength: 2
},
email: {
required: "no email"
},
message: {
required: "no msg",
minlength: 2
}
},
submitHandler: function(form) {
$(form).ajaxSubmit({
type: "POST",
data: $(form).serialize(),
url: "process.php",
success: function() {
$('#contact-form :input').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$('#contact-form').fadeTo("slow", 0.15, function() {
$(this).find(':input').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$(this).find('label').css('cursor', 'default');
$('#success').fadeIn();
});
},
error: function() {
$('#contact-form').fadeTo("slow", 0.15, function() {
$('#error').fadeIn();
});
}
});
}
});
});
</script>
validation
<?php
$to = "";
$from = $_REQUEST['name'];
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'];
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$headers = "From: $from";
$fields = array();
$fields{"name"} = "name";
$fields{"email"} = "email";
$fields{"subject"} = "subject";
$fields{"message"} = "message";
$body = "Here is what was sent:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b){ $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); }
$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);?>
and finally my process.php script. any help would be appreciated. thanks.
<div id="success">
<span>
<p>Your message was sent successfully! I will be in touch as soon as I can.</p>
</span>
</div>
<div id="error">
<span>
<p>Something went wrong, try refreshing and submitting the form again.</p>
</span>
</div>
I have this piece of code as well at the end in the HTML but it just prints with or without submitting
