Here is a generic example which you can tweak to your needs.

// results returned from PHP
n=2&item0="<a href='url'>First News</a>"&item1="<a href='url'>Second News</a>"

// ActionScript
//myText is a dynamic textfield on the stage
myText.html=true;

var myNews:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
myNews.onLoad=function(success:Boolean){
    if(success){
        //clear previous news
        myText.htmlText="";
        for(var i=0; i<this.n; i++){ // here we use n (this.n) coming from PHP to
limit the loop
            myText.htmlText+=this["item"+i] + newline; // all news items on new lines
        }
    } else {
        myText.text="Unable to load the news."
    }
};
myNews.load("urltoyourphpfile");
