You can return whatever you want, by outputting the value from your php
page...I would use Firebug and do console.log( data ) in your callback so
you can make sure that it's returning the expected value.

database?
Thank you. I don't think it will be json though. What if it is not
json?

You would do this in the callback function from the ajax call. One way
might be to have an empty div available on your page:
<div id="username"></div>
Then the ajax callback, assuming you are returning json data:
function( data ) { $("#username").text( data.username ); }
