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

Ajax may not be returning a boolean true or false, rather a string.

So try and put true in double quotes:

if(data=="true")

You can also use the trim function on data to ensure no whitespace is present in the returned data, like so:

if($.trim(data)=="true")
