How convert variable returned from PHP in javascript value?

Question

I hope you can help me to find a better title...

I have a php file the return a value:

<?php
 $value= "abcd";
 $returned= json_encode($value);
 print_r($returned);
?>

I got that value with ajax in my javascript file.

success: function (result) {
    $sku= result;
    console.log($sku);
}

Why in console.log() is print

 "abcd"

and not

  abcd

if in javascript i have console.log("abcd"); it print only abcd without quote.

Answer 1

From your question I think, following will resolve the concern.

<?php
 $value= "abcd";
 echo json_encode($value);

?>

javascript File

success: function (result) {
    let sku = result;
    console.log(sku);
}
