How to get true or false from PHP function using AJAX?

Question

I tested status.php return value with var_dump($result) and alerted it out in check() function like this:

function check() {
    $.ajax({
               


        

Answer 1

you just echo the $result like this

ajax not returning value so that we have to echo it.

and then should be like this

function check() {
$.ajax({
    url: "status.php"
}).done(function(data) {
    if(data == "true"){
        alert("true");
    } else {
        alert("false");
    }
});   }
