Getting the value of textbox - php

Question

I have a select option, to get the value from this, I used jquery (please see below code). After I display the selected value in the textbox, I'm now having problem on how to get the value of textbox to process a such code. Even simply echo of the value is not working. What's the problem with the code? Please help. Thanks.
Select option:
<select name='shiptype' id='shiptype'>
<option value="0">Please select...</option>
<option value="LOC">LOCAL</option>
<option value="IM">IMPORT</option>
</select>
Jquery:
$('#shiptype').change(function () {
var selectedValue = $(this).val();
var strloc = "LOCAL";
var strimp = "IMPORT";
if (selectedValue == "LOC") {
$('#strkey').val(selectedValue);
} else if (selectedValue == "IM") {
$('#strkey').val(selectedValue);
}
});
Text Field:
<input type='text' id='strkey' name='keyname' />
Display the value:
$key = $_POST['keyname'];
echo $key;

Please try this code :
HTML file contains this below code. File name test.html.
Form to submit your data.
<form id="frm_post">
<select name='shiptype' id='shiptype'>
<option value="0">Please select...</option>
<option value="LOC">LOCAL</option>
<option value="IM">IMPORT</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="name" id="strkey">
<input id="btn_post" type="button" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
This is a div for your output.
<div>
<p id="output"></p>
</div>
This is jquery for ajax call function.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#shiptype').change(function() {
var selectedValue = $(this).val();
var strloc = "LOCAL";
var strimp = "IMPORT";
if (selectedValue == "LOC") {
$('#strkey').val(selectedValue);
//alert($('#strkey').val());
} else if (selectedValue == "IM") {
$('#strkey').val(selectedValue);
//alert($('#strkey').val());
}
});
$("#btn_post").click(function(){
var parm = $("#frm_post").serializeArray();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'your.php',
data: parm,
success: function (data,status,xhr) {
console.info(data);
$( "#output" ).html(data);
},
error: function (error) {
console.info("Error post : "+error);
$( "#output" ).html(error);
}
});
});
});
</script>
And for PHP File to get the post value like this below. File name your.php.
<?php
// $key = $_POST['keyname'];
// echo $key;
print_r($_POST);
?>
Your post result will be show up in output id. Hope this help you out. :D
