If I understand correctly, you want the user's reference code to be sent by POST when the user clicks on the item. Beauty.
First I'll make some changes to your current code:
<div id="posiciona">
<table id="mostra_prod" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="3" bordercolor="#000000">
<thead>
<tr>
<td align="right" bgcolor="#0a0a96">Aplicação</td>
<td align="left" bgcolor="#0a0a96">Referência</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
$i=0;
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result_pd)) {
$rfprod = $row['pro_referencia_produto'];
$idref[] = $rfprod;
$i++;
$approd = $row['pro_aplicacao_produto'];
?><tr id="item"><?php
echo "<td align='right' style='color: #cfcfd1; font-size:14px;'>".$approd."</td>";
echo "<td style='color: #ffffff; font-size:11px; padding-top: 5px;' id='referencia-item'>".$rfprod."</td>";
?></tr><?php
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
What I did: I put an id in the "tr" parent so I could select it more easily, just like in the "td" of the reference.
Now let's go to the js (jquery) part:
$(function(){
$("#item").click(function(){
$.ajax({
url: "referencia.php",
type: post,
data: ({referencia: $(this).find('#referencia-item').text()}),
success: function(resposta){
alert(resposta);
}
});
});
});
And create a file called "reference.php"
Make your php on it!
Example:
<?php
$referencia = $_POST['referencia'];
echo "O código de referência do produto clicado é ".$referencia;
?>
I hope you understand.
Sorry for the bad formatting, I'm on my cell phone!
