A request to a php file with no data sent

[cleary1981]

I want to get data from an external php file. This is how I would normally do it but this time I am not sending any data in the request. How do I achieve this when no data is being sent in the request?

<script type="text/javascript" src="text-utils.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="request.js"> </script>
<script type = "text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
	getProjects();
}
function getProjects() {
	var url = "needmodule.php";
	url = url + "&dummy=" + new Date().getTime();
	request.open("GET", url, true);
	request.onreadystatechange = updateProjects;
	request.send(null);
}
function updateProjects() {
	if (request.readyState == 4) {
		var returned = request.responseText;
		alert(returned);
}
</script>

But you do send data. Although it's GET data...
Furthermore (this might be a writing mistake) shouldn't there be a "?" instead of an "&" in line 9?

yes,Dormilich is right , and furthermore, you missed a } in line 17. It should be
[HTML]alert(returned) ; }[/HTML]
