You need to include a success handler in your AJAX call:

$("#text-id").on( 'click', function () {
    $.ajax({
        type: 'post',
        url: 'text.php',
        data: {
            source1: "some text",
            source2: "some text 2"
        },
        success: function( data ) {
            console.log( data );
        }
    });
});

and in your console, you'll receive:

some textsome text 2

Do make sure that both the test.php and your html source files are in same directory.
