Dynamic XML Generated from PHP - php

Question

I have a PHP script that loads XML content dynamically:
require_once 'directory/directory/';
$nice= '1149632';
$key = 'adf995jdfdfddda44rfg';
$mixer = new Live_Products($key);
$result = $mixer->product($nice)
->show(array('name','Price'))
->query();
echo $result
This will work fine when it is loaded. But I am trying to use an ajax/jquery script to send the value $nice to the PHP script; and to ultimately send the result back from the dynamically created XML file. I've been trying to figure this out for hours
Here is the ajax Script
function sendValues() {
$("$nice")
$.ajax({
url: "/myphp.php",
data: {str}
cache: false
});
}
Has anybody done something similar to this concept?

Why not pass it as a GET param like so...
jQuery
function sendValues(something) {
$.ajax({
url: "/myphp.php?nice=" + something,
cache: false,
dataType: 'xml',
success: function(xml) {
// Work with the XML
}
});
}
PHP
require_once 'directory/directory/';
$nice= '1149632';
$key = 'adf995jdfdfddda44rfg';
$mixer = new Live_Products($key);
$result = $mixer->product($_GET['nice'])
->show(array('name','Price'))
->query();
// You said it is XML?
header('Content-Type: text/xml');
echo $result;
