A request to a php file with no data sent

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]
