Returning value of variable from ajax function

Question

I want to get stored value in my defined variable. I have written this code:

 var phn=$.ajax({
url:   ipaddress+"/.../.../...",
type: "POST",
    data: JSON.stringify(MyForm1),
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", 
    success:function(response){
        console.log(response);
        $.each(response, function(k, v) {
                rcvdResponse.push(v);
                console.log(rcvdResponse);
        }); 
        var phone =rcvdResponse[0];
        return phone;
        }

    });

rcvdResponse is a defined array. But it is not returning the output. Can anyone help me to do it?

You can't use return sentence in the ajax's success callback...

Use this method instead (creating your own callback function)
