You can't. The php file completes its execution in the server first and the result is passed to the browser. The javascript (ie, ajax) part is then executed in your browser. Read the answer here for more info.

you can use like:

<script type="text/javascript">
var jvalue = 'this is javascript value';

<?php $abc = "<script>document.write(jvalue)</script>"?>   
</script>
