How do you know the PHP is working fine?  What is the response that you see in your developer tools when you validate that with an email that already exists?

It do register to database when email has not been registered, and will not register when is existing.

And what is the response from PHP?  You can find that in your developer tools if you look at the ajax request.  Is PHP responding with whatever Javascript is expecting?
