On data: { varName: $('#customer').html() }

on Php:

$varName= $_POST['varName'];

For a simpler sintax, you use this (it the same):

$.post("../gestione_di_canio/services.php", { varName: $('#customer').html() } )
.success(function() { 
    try{
        alert("ok");

    }catch (e){
        alert("correggi");
    } 
});

           type: "POST",
           url: "../gestione_di_canio/services.php",
           datatype: "json",
           data: { customer: $('#customer').html() },
           async:true,
           success:function() {
               try{
                   alert("ok");

                }catch (e){
                    alert("correggi");
                    } 
            }
    });
}

I hope this will work for ya...

function inoltra(){
({var jqxhr = $.ajax
    type: "POST",
    url: "../gestione_di_canio/services.php",
    datatype: "json",
    data: {"parameter1": value1, "parameter2": value2},// e.i data: {"customer": $('div#customer').html() },
    async:true,
    success:function() {
    try{
        alert("ok");
       }
    catch (e)
         {
           alert("correggi");
         } 
    }
});

}

as many parameters you want to send would be accessable.
