'something wrong' is not informative. You are using jquery, did you include a jquery library in your web page? the problem could also lie with the php script.

you can try using $.ajax()

$.ajax({
       data:formData,
       url: 'http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/test_client.php',
       dataType: "jsonp",
       jsonpCallback: "onSuccess"
   });
