Can anyone help me how accept return values from $_GET with jquery ajax
my php file return a boolean variable access ...

success:function(e){ e is the return value from the php file

for example passProtectionCheck.php where you gonna gor through the get process
echo "Success"; from passProtectionCheck.php as you echo "Succes" is the return value of an ajax request try to alert(e); onsuccess of an ajax request then there will be a popup alert "Success" from the page

How can i store a return value on a variable?

success:function(e){ start from this line e is the return value
then store to variable like var access = e;

make (or) store your boolean variable value into an php array as follows

$out_val = array("result"=>'your value here');
echo json_encode($out_val);

and read this value in your script code by using Json.parse() as follows

success:function(e){
                var actual = JSON.parse(e);
                alert(actual.result)

            }

check it once by making changes in your php file as well as in script code

check whether the alert box gives your desired result or not

let me know the status after updating with the code above

happy coding
