I don’t see even a single line of PHP in this code … only JavaScript that is not bad … but not your question … what do you expect this markup to do ? and what it really does ? If the problem is in JavaScript just tell us about verifications that you need…

i want to hide/show div by div ID through combobox but code is not working

how can i do this in php?

There are some embedded markup languages that a browser can understand and compile like JavaScript. PHP is a server side language and you can’t do anything in a browser only using AJAX that it needs feedback from the server.

Latest versions of php don't support the short php tag you have used. For example, you have used <? echo $c = uniqid(); ?> , such short tags are no more supported in latest php versions, use the complete php tags in the following way
<?php echo $c = uniqid(); ?> and your problem would be solved.

instead of

<? echo $c = uniqid(); ?>

try this

<? $c = uniqid(); echo $c; ?>

You could try also

<?=uniqid();?>
