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're not sending the return value of the status() function back to PHP. Use:

echo json_encode(status());

And change the AJAX call to expect a JSON response.

function check() {
    $.ajax({
        url: "status.php",
        dataType: 'json'
    }).done(function(data) {
        alert(data);
    });
}
