ajax return true/false - I have implemented a callback [duplicate]

Answer 1

ajax request is asynchronous. Don't use the sync: true option, it's not really a good idea. What you can do is to use the promise that the ajax returns, so:

function validateUserDetails(){

return $.ajax({
    url: 'response.php?type=validateUserDetails',
    type: 'POST',
    async: false,
    dataType: 'json',
    data: {name: $("#checkout_name").val(), email: $("#checkout_email").val(), "country": $("#checkout_country").val(), 
           "city": $("#checkout_city").val()},
    success: function(data){
        console.log(data); // this is currently returning FALSE
    }
  });
}
$("#btn_go").on('click', function(){
    validateUserDetails().done(function(data){
         if(data == "someValue")
            return "whatever you want";
    });
});
