php获取return,如何使用PHP中的return获取响应并在jquery中使用它

下面的jquery是检查数据库中的用户名和电子邮件。当我回复false或ture时，jquery的工作原理，但它给PHP错误。所以我只想从PHP代码中返回false或true。但是当我这样做时，jquery不起作用。

我在这里做错了什么？

提前致谢。

jQuery的

$(document).ready(function(){

$("#name").blur(function()

{

var nameval = $(this).val();

if(nameval)

{

...

...

//check the username exists or not from ajax

$.post("<?php echo site_url('welcome/user_availability'); ?>",{ what:$(this).val(), where:"name" } ,function(data)

{

if(data==false) //if username not avaiable

{

$("#msgbox").fadeTo(200,0.1,function() //start fading the messagebox

{

//add message and change the class of the box and start fading

$(this).html('This User name Already exists').addClass('messageboxerror').fadeTo(900,1);

});

}

else

{

$("#msgbox").fadeTo(200,0.1,function() //start fading the messagebox

{

//add message and change the class of the box and start fading

$(this).html('Username available to register').addClass('messageboxok').fadeTo(900,1);

});

}

});

}

else

{

$("#msgbox").fadeTo(200,0);

}

});

...

...PHP

function user_availability()

{

$module = "subscribers";

$where = $this->input->post('where');

$what = $this->input->post('what');

$customers = $this->MKaimonokago->getAllSimple($module, $where , $what );

if (!empty($customers))

{

//user name is not available

return false; // I want to use return here.

// this works but it gives php error

// echo "false";

}

else

{

return true;

}

}PHP错误
