Question

I have a select element with a few options for currencies, and then a <p> element at the bottom that currently prints the current exchange rate for USD to another currency. What I’m trying to do, is upon .change() of the select element value, I want to insert the value of the select element into a PHP script, and then re-.load() the <p> element.

How can I pass a value from jQuery .val() to a PHP script?

You might want something like:

$('select').change(function() {
    $('p').load('/path/to/script.php?myVar=' + $(this).val());
});

Of course, you might want to use more specific selectors.
