Hello Cincy,
Sorry for the late reply, but you can def. do that within the same AJAX call. After you echo 'success', you can build a form using PHP's mail function. You should be able to get started using php.net/mail as a reference.
I hope that works out for yah!

Hello jones,
i want to submit an html form but the form does not do the submission by itself ,in the action part of the form i have a php file that is collecting the data and then would now submit into an api(8 fields) i have so that i receive a response and further have a redirect link to the page i should go to once the data submission is successful.
