You should really read these tutorials before jumping into something

Answer to your question

jQuery post takes parameters like below

jQuery.post( url [, data] [, success(data, textStatus, jqXHR)] [, dataType] )

A typical jquery post request with certain parameters, expecting the results from a php file(test.php in this case) in XML format would be like the below

$.post("test.php",
 { name: "John", time: "2pm" },
 function(data) {
   process(data);
 }, 
 "xml"
);

Hope this helps.

As many people suggested check with jQuery manual on possible usage of POST or AJAX calls, here is my example of ajax calls:

$.post("server.php", { "func": "getNameAndTime" }, function(data){
  console.log(data.name); //  John Doe
  console.log(data.time); //  2001-01-01 23:00:00
}, "json");

server.php

//do some processing and validation
$response = array('name' => 'John Doe', 'time'=> '2001-01-01 23:00:00');
print json_encode($response);
exit;

$.post("script.php", args, function(res) {
  // res is the response send to your from server
  // now do your stuff
});
