Hi,

I am executing a php call from javascript(jQuery), php sript is sending result back. The problem is that these php scripts are taking some time (milliseconds), and java script is not waiting for them to finish, thus variables are not getting initialized with correct values. The code is simple:

$.get("php/validation.php",{'email':email},function(data){
// valid_email now contains true/false
alert(data);
if(data=="true"){
var valid_email = true;}
}); 

The "alert" is printing true but value of valid_mail is recognized as "false" in the code below. Is there any other better way to call php scripts and wait for until they are not finished?
