[jQuery] jQuery -> PHP

[jQuery] jQuery -> PHP


Hi everyone,
I'm trying to pass a jQuery variable to PHP script but i just can't
get it to go. Here's the code, it's a Wordpress theme in which i want
new posts loading in the same window by clicking links like this one:
<a class="tipped" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php echo
$post -> ID; ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
Basically i need to use title attribute and then pass its value back
to php, another file. JS:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.tipped').click(function() {
        var test = $(this).attr('title');
        $('#ajax').load('<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/ajax-
handler.php');
        alert('post id is ' + test);
        return false;
    });
});
And then there is "ajax-handler.php" in which i have:
<?php echo get_the_title("need to insert 'test' variable from jquery
here"); ?>
And i need to pass "test" variable from jQuery into ajax-handler.php
but anything i tried failed. Can anyone help, please?
Thank you in advance!
