use this code for use variable

  <?php
  session_start();
  echo $_SESSION['php_value'];
  ?>
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script>
    function getValue(obj){
    var value = obj.value;
    $.ajax({
        type:"POST",
        url: 'edit.php',
        data: "val="+ value,
        dataType: 'text',
        async: false,
        cache: false,
        success: function ( result )  {
            window.location.reload();
        }
    });
}

</script>

<select onchange="getValue(this)">
<option value="1" <?php if($_SESSION['php_value'] == 1) echo 'selected';?>>One</option>
<option value="2" <?php if($_SESSION['php_value'] == 2) echo 'selected';?>>Two</option>
<option value="3" <?php if($_SESSION['php_value'] == 3) echo 'selected';?>>Three</option>
<option value="4" <?php if($_SESSION['php_value'] == 4) echo 'selected';?>>four</option>

</select>

then create edit.php file

<?php
 session_start();
 $_SESSION['php_value'] = $_REQUEST['val'];
?>

Ajax can do this. Google it, and check out api.jquery.com and look at the ajax functions, .ajax(), .post(), .get(), .load(), etc.

As for your specific question, here is what you would do:

//Javascript file

$.post('my_ajax_receiver.php', 'val=' + $(this).val(), function(response) {
  alert(response);
  });

});

//PHP file my_ajax_receiver.php
<?php
   $value = $_POST['val'];
   echo "$value";
?>
