I need to, using JS get some values returned by a PHP script.
How to achieve that?
What's the method you're using to communicate with PHP? If you're using AJAX you might want to checkout jQuery or a library of some sort and use JSON for communication.
Using these methods, like using getJSON, you can easily access the variables returned by the PHP-script.
