URLRequest data from PHP bad data

Question

PHP is very basic:
<?php
echo "tcount=10";
?>
Following the tutorials, I'm able to connect to the PHP with URLRequest, but there seems to be some problem with the returned data.
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://localhost/myphp.php"));
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onDataLoad);
private function onDataLoad(evt:Event):void {
trace( evt.target.data.tcount );
output returns undefined
I'm pretty sure the URLRequest is connecting ok. I'm able to navigate to the page and see the content in the browser.
Also the following displays something:
trace( evt.target.data );
Output:
%0D%0Atcount=10
I've tried different URLLoaderDataFormat types, decoding via URLVariables, and everything else I can think of.
Where's that front-end garbage come from, and how do I get rid of it?
Maybe some PHP setting I have wrong?

Answer 1

That worked; thanks, although it's a mystery to me why it would matter how
the echo string is constructed.
While I have your attention, I'm finding that changing the value in the php
file isn't being reflected when I use Ctrl-Enter to test the Movie from the
Flash builder.
I changed to:
<?php
$tCount=89;
echo "tCount=".$tCount;
?>
Running "Test Movie" from Flash builder still shows 10,
But if I publish an HTML file and test in the browser, I get the right
number displayed.
I can live with this, but if you know of some adjustment to make to have the
PHP file change reflected in test, I'd appreciate the advice.
Thanks agin.
