You should use echo to display it in php then it will be available in you JavaScript reponse.

Your php needs to output the value you want. A simple way to do this is to use echo. For example:

echo 'come!! fetch this value';

You are not echoing the value, so it won't be send.

<?php
// want to fetch this value 
$a = 'come!! fetch this value';
echo $a;
?>
