How to pass the values to php script using ajax?

I have written a code to pass values of input fields to a php script using ajax but it is not working. Can anyone suggest how to rectify this code ? I want to display the values passed through ajax in the php file.
ex.php
<?php
$temp = $_POST['start_date'];
$name = $_POST['end_date'];
echo $temp.$name;
?>

try using below code :
<?php
$temp = $_POST['start_date'];
$name = $_POST['end_date'];
echo $temp.$name;
?>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input").change(function(){
var fname = $("#fname").val();
var lname = $("#lname").val();
var post = "&start_date=" + fname + "&end_date=" + lname;
$.ajax({
'url': ex.php,
'data': post,
'type': 'POST',
'success': function (data)
{
}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post" name="form1">
<input type="text" name="fname" id="fname"/>
<input type="text" name="lname" id="lname"/>

Add an element to your makeup
<span id="idOfSomeElementYouWantToUse"></span>
and in your callback set it's text.
.done(function( msg ) {
$("#idOfSomeElementYouWantToUse").text(msg);
});

Add a div to your page and use html() to append the data that comes from the ajax request
<body>
<form action="#" method="post" name="form1">
<input type="text" name="fname" id="fname"/>
<input type="text" name="lname" id="lname"/>
</form>
<div class="ajax-result"></div>
</body>
js:
$("input").change(function(){
var fname = $("#fname").val();
var lname = $("#lname").val();
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url: "other_file.php", // path to php file
data: { start_date: fname, end_date: lname }, // send required data here
success:function(data){
$(',ajax-result').htm(data);
}
});
Note: from what i can tell you are ajaxing to the same page,i strongly suggest you create a new php file(other_file.php) with your logic in it

From what I can understand from your comment above, you want to insert textbox value to the database, to do this you don't want to call ajax on textChange event because at that time not all value will be present, I suggest adding submit button to the form and call ajax on form submit.
Here is the main file:
ajax_ex.php (You should name it as per your requirement)
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<form id="frmInsert" method="post" name="form1">
<input type="text" name="fname" id="fname"/>
<input type="text" name="lname" id="lname"/>
<input type="submit" value="Insert" />
</form>
<div id="msg">
</div>
</body>
<!-- You should put javascript at bottom -->
<script src="jQuery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#frmInsert").submit(function(e){
var fname = $("#fname").val();
var lname = $("#lname").val();
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url: "insert.php", // path to php file
data: { start_date: fname, end_date: lname } // send required data here
})
.done(function( msg ) {
msg = $.trim(msg);
if (msg == 'true') {
$('#msg').html("Data is inserted successfully");
}else {
$('#msg').html("Data insertion failed");
}
});
e.preventDefault();
});
And you should not call the same file in ajax, I recommend that you create individual file that will be called in ajax, this file will handle all back-end processing.
insert.php
<?php
//Check if post data is available (You should also check for particular attribute if it is available)
if (!empty($_POST)) {
$temp = $_POST['start_date'];
$name = $_POST['end_date'];
//Insert Data into database
// Your code
$result = 'true'; //check for operation if it is success and store it in result
//Echo result so you can check if insert is success of not in your ajax callback.
echo $result;
}
?>
