Try setting data as an array, as so:

    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: 'index.php',
        data: { lprice: lprice },
        dataType: 'text',       
    });

Try using console.log(lprice) right efore the ajax request to print out the value of lprice and make sure that lprice is being accurately retrieved.
