the jquery is client side and php is server side, you most post the data to the php, use the jquery post function, learn here: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post

yeah i know but it doesn't mean that you can not perform jquery tagging in simple form post – user1614526 Aug 29 '12 at 10:10
also you can define your post `data` variable values with the any attributes of any elements – mohammad falahat Aug 29 '12 at 10:15

UL is not a "form input element". Use elements that require inputs from user such as INPUT,SELECT,TEXTAREA, etc. to submit values using traditional form submit.
