            $header = 'From: ' . $email . " \r\n";
            $msg = "Sent from: " . $name . "\r\n";

            $to = '[e-mail]';
            $subject = 'Emailmakers contact page';

            mail($to, $subject, utf8_decode($msg), $header);

             ?>success<?


        }
        else 
        {
        die ("The reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Go back and try it again." .
           "(reCAPTCHA said: " . $resp->error . ")");

}
}

Well, once you sed the ajax request if the captcha fails then just reload the entire form.

Say you have only the form in myform.php and you include it in your main page, when the captcha does not match you can just reload the form. Like this:

if (html != "Success")
{
     $("#divThatHoldsTheForm").html(html)
}

and in your myform.php you have only:

<form action="..." method="POST">
  <!-- some inputs -->
</form>
