.load() not calling my php page in jquery

Question

I'm trying to call a php page which essentially parses my xml and if there's changes in the xml, it inserts that data into a mysql table.

My code originally was:

var auto_refresh = setInterval(
function ()
{
$('.blabla').load('parser.php');
}, 10000); // refresh every 10000 milliseconds

where .blabla was an empty div and parser.php did not echo any information - I only called the php to check the xml.

Rather than call the php every 10 seconds which seems a bit unnecessary, I want to call the php before my page loads.

How would I go about doing that?

This is what I have got so far:

$(document).ready(function() {

 $('.blabla').load('parser.php');

});

which is not working.

Why are you using load() if you're not inserting content? You should be using $.get or $.ajax, which load is a convinient shortcut for, that also inserts the content! — adeneo

@naspinski - You're right, but load automagically inserts the content returned in the ajax function. If the OP is'nt inserting content, there's no need for load(). — adeneo

Try

 $(document).ready(function() {

        $('.blabla').load('parser.php', function()
        {
            //just to see if you loaded the php 
            alert("loaded yay!");  
       });

    });

If there is no message, the problem maybe the php.
