Pass data from jQuery to php file

Hello I have this code

$('.preview a').click(function() {
  $('.presentation > .images > .margin').load('images.php');

  return false; 
});

Is there possibility to pass data from jquery into that images.php file and then let's say echo that data? I've tried everything I suppose so, but nothing seemed to work. Could anybody help me with it, if it is possible?

To complete the Tomasz Nguyen answer, if you want to pass data via POST method you can do this:

$('.preview a').click(function() {
   $.ajax({
       url: 'images.php',
       type: 'POST',
       data: {foo:value}
   }).done(function(response){
       $('.presentation > .images > .margin').html(response);
   });
});

You can read the foo var in images.php with $_POST['foo'] and build your response to append inside $('.presentation > .images > .margin')

If you want to pass the var via get method, just change the type parameter to 'GET'

You could encode the data into the url. Assume you want to send the string Hello to the server, you could do the following:

$('.presentation > .images > .margin').load('images.php?v=Hello');

In PHP, you can access the string Hello via $_GET['v'].
