Send extra data value with PHP/jQuery UI to ajax.php file - php

Question

I am trying to send an extra $php_var with jQuery to an Ajax post function.
In the 1st $.ajax I have:
$('.ui-icon-closethick').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var parent = $(this).parent().parent();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "server_items_reorder.php",
data: 'id=' + parent.attr('id'),
success: function() {
parent.slideUp(300,function() {
parent.remove();
});
}
});
});
The data: 'id=' + parent.attr('id') needs a extra $php_var sent to the URL: server_items_reorder.php
A little further down in my code I have:
function savelayout(){
var positions = "";
var weight = 0;
var wb_name = "$wb_name";
$(".portlet").each(function(){weight++;positions+=(this.id + "=" + this.parentNode.id + "|" + weight + "&");});
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "server_items_reorder.php",
data: positions
});
}
As you can see, I already tried there to add a $var called wb_name.
Full code here:

The purpose of the code is to control a block system by modules. You can move/add/change/delete blocks by its module.

Answer 1

You need to mix your PHP inline with your AJAX request:
$('.ui-icon-closethick').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var parent = $(this).parent().parent();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "server_items_reorder.php",
data: 'id=' + parent.attr('id') + '&php_var=<?php echo $php_var; ?>',
success: function() {
parent.slideUp(300,function() {
parent.remove();
});
}
});
});
And for your second example:
function savelayout(){
var positions = "";
var weight = 0;
var wb_name = "<?php echo $wb_name; ?>";
$(".portlet").each(function(){
weight++;
positions += (this.id + "=" + this.parentNode.id + "|" + weight + "&");
});
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "server_items_reorder.php",
data: positions
});
}

Answer 2

Do you mean
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "server_items_reorder.php",
data: {'positions':positions, 'wb_name': wb_name}
});
