Getting a variable from $.get() [solved]

Getting a variable from $.get() [solved]

Is it possible to get the value of a variable using $.get without having to echo it?

Here's the sample PHP file, and the next one is the jquery:

//This is the php file "loadme.php"
$i = "Hello";
$j = "world";
echo j;


jQuery here:

$(function(){
       $.get('loadme.php', function(data){
              $('body').append(data); //displays the word "world"
       });
});


Is there a way to get the variable $i in the php file which contains the string "Hello" without having to echo it?
