I am trying to send an extra $php_var with jQuery to an Ajax post

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.

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
    });
}
