Passing PHP return values to Javascript

[jnroche]

Hi Guys!Im trying to pass a return value from PHP file to a javascript source code and the javascript source code would look like this:in AJAX: ...xmlhttprequest('reasons', '../templates/Emailto.php');I want Emailto.php to return something and I know I can catch this value from the ajax responseText property, so with this is it correct to say:...document.getElementById('spanIDhere').innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText; if (xmlhttp.responseText == "something") {process here;}...i tried this to no avail. How can i let javascript/ajax know what the responseText is to process it further within the same file if i cant catch responseText as a javascript/ajax ordinary variable? ?????????
