Response is null - ios

Question

My response is shown null. But when you enter the url in your browser it shows 1. But in my code it returns 0.
The url is http://boomagift.ramansingla.com/forgotpassword.php?email=nihal#gmail.com. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out. I am new to iOS .
+(NSDictionary *)forgotpassword:(NSString *)email
{
NSDictionary *dict=[[NSDictionary alloc]init];
NSString *urlStr=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://boomagift.ramansingla.com/forgotpassword.php?email=%#",email];
NSLog(#"%#",urlStr);
NSMutableURLRequest *request=[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlStr]];
dict = [self sendRequest:request];
NSLog(#"%#",dict);
return dict;
}
+(NSDictionary *)sendRequest:(NSMutableURLRequest *)request
{
NSHTTPURLResponse *response;
NSError *error;
NSData *responseData;
responseData=[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
if(responseData&&[responseData length])
{
NSDictionary *dictionary=[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options:0 error:&error];
return dictionary;
}
else
{
UIAlertView *noInternetAlert=[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Boom A GIft" message:#"Server Error" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[noInternetAlert show];
noInternetAlert=nil;
return nil;
}
}

The response data is no valid JSON, because its top item is a number, not a Collection (list or object).
An object that may be converted to JSON must have the following
properties:
The top level object is an NSArray or NSDictionary.
All objects are instances of NSString, NSNumber, NSArray,
NSDictionary, or NSNull.
All dictionary keys are instances of NSString.
Numbers are not NaN or infinity.
You can configure the serializer to accept non-collection objects at top level with the options paramater.
enum {
NSJSONReadingMutableContainers = (1UL << 0),
NSJSONReadingMutableLeaves = (1UL << 1),
NSJSONReadingAllowFragments = (1UL << 2)
};
typedef NSUInteger NSJSONReadingOptions;
NSJSONReadingAllowFragments
Specifies that the parser should allow
top-level objects that are not an instance of NSArray or NSDictionary.
Available in OS X v10.7 and later.
BTW: returning nil (not NULL) with an error-out parameter is not joking, but a hint, what the problem is. ;-)
