You'll need to use AJAX to pass it PHP, here's a sample AJAX call to test.php passing your value:

$('div#tabs ul li a').click(function() {
    var n = $(this).attr('href');
    var p=n.slice(5,6); 
    alert(p);

    //AJAX TIME
    $.ajax({
        type: 'post',
        url: 'test.php'
        data: {value : p}
        success: function(data) {
            //do something with response 'data'
        }
    });
});

And in your PHP, get the passed in data

$data = $_POST['value'];
