My php/html code below'

After one of the <li> tags is chosen the var choice contains the text() value of that <li>.

How can I/is it possible to use AJAX to pass choice to the php code  

1. <?php
   
   set_include_path( '../../include' );
   error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
   
   $str=<<<LABEL
   
   <style>
   .hov:hover {
       color: red;
       font-weight: bold;
       }
      
   li    {
       list-style-type:none;
       }   
   </style>
   
   <script src="../jquery/jquery-2.1.4.js"></script>
   
   <script type="text/javascript">
   
        $(function(){
             $("li.hov").click(function () {
                   var choice="";
                 console.log("testing");
                 choice=($( this ).text());
                 alert("You chose: " + choice);
2. ADD AJAX CODE HERE ? TO PASS choice TO PHP CODE ON THIS PAGE ?
    
             });
       });
   
   </script>
   
   LABEL;
   
   chdir('/home/rick/Desktop');
   echo $str;
   $path=getcwd();
   $items=scandir($path);
   
   echo "<p>Contents of $path</p>";
   echo '<ul>';
   $i=0;
   foreach($items as $item) {
       if(is_file($item) || $item=="." || $item=="..") {
           continue;
       }
       $disp='disp'.++$i;
      
       echo "<li id=$disp class='hov' >$item</>";
   }
   echo '</ul>';
3. 
   DO STUFF HERE WITH RESULT PASSED BACK BY AJAX ?
   
4. 
   ?>
