How About This?

For Json Data:

var BaseConfig=$.ajax({
                       async:false,
                       url:'./config.php',
                       type:'get',
                       data:{'GetConfig':'YES'},
                       dataType:"JSON"
                       }).responseJSON;

And For Text Data:

var BaseConfig=$.ajax({
                       async:false,
                       url:'./config.php',
                       type:'get',
                       data:{'GetConfig':'YES'},
                       dataType:"TEXT"
                       }).responseText;

var myvar;
$.ajax({
    url: 'mything.php',
    success: function(data) {
        myvar = data;
    }
});
