PHP variable not echoing on page via ajax jquery

Question

I am having a problem with my code as my php variable is not being echoed on page when using ajax jquery. Here is my code...

Answer 1

A bit more simplified would be:

$.post(URL, { data: somefield }, function(result) {
    result = JSON.parse(result);
    If(result && result.status === 'true'){

    }
)};

Depends a bit on the return at server side.
