I am using the following code to get data from a php file to a variable 'line'. But I don't know why, when I alert its value outside, it show empty. Here is the code:
var line = "something"
function generateNewLine(line)
{
$.get("getLine.php", function( data ) {
line = data
alert(line) // prints the data
});
alert(line) // prints nothing
}
