I have a form, I have successfully passed the username from jquery

$.post("http://www.photographycourses.co.uk/cpl/cplfunctions.php?action=checkUsername", { username: username} );

to php script. The php script checks the database to see if the username exists:

if ($num >=1){	
echo= 0;		
}else{		
echo= 1;			}

How do I pass the variable (1/0) back to the javascript file?
