I am using Javascript to do a GET request on a php page, but when I try to parse the php page as JSON, I get the following error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

I imagine because at the bottom of the PHP page, the following comment exists:

<!-- url here compressed/chunked Tue Sep  4 17:15:42 PDT 2012 -->

    The comment in the PHP file is a HTML comment and should not be sent within a JSON response (it should only contain plain JSON)

    You can either

    a) remove the comment from the PHP file completely or

    b) put it within a PHP section (using PHP-style comments)

    <?php /* url here compressed/chunked Tue Sep  4 17:15:42 PDT 2012 */ ?>

<?php
// url here compressed/chunked Tue Sep  4 17:15:42 PDT 2012
?>

    I don’t think, you’ll need this information in the JSON, do you?
