What are the best practices for retrieving and displaying the URL of the active image in a jQuery slideshow with PHP?

To retrieve and display the URL of the active image in a jQuery slideshow with PHP, you can use JavaScript to get the source attribute of the active image element and pass it to a PHP script for further processing. One way to achieve this is by adding a click event listener to the slideshow images and sending an AJAX request to a PHP script that will handle the URL display.

// JavaScript code to get the URL of the active image and send it to a PHP script
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.slideshow-image').click(function(){
        var imageUrl = $(this).attr('src');
        $.ajax({
            url: 'display_image_url.php',
            type: 'POST',
            data: {imageUrl: imageUrl},
            success: function(response){
                // Display the URL in a designated area on the webpage
                $('#image-url').text(response);
            }
        });
    });
});
```

```php
// PHP script (display_image_url.php) to receive the URL of the active image and display it
<?php
if(isset($_POST['imageUrl'])){
    $imageUrl = $_POST['imageUrl'];
    echo $imageUrl;
}
?>
