PHP 5.3.13 Unexpected token < with json_encode

Question

I setup a local site but when I goto it I get this error Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < which brings me to this line of code:

<script type="text/javascript">
pepsiMedia.loadConfig(<?= json_encode($this->config) ?>);
$(document).ready(pepsiMedia.ready);
</script>

I am assuming it has something to do with the json_encode or my PHP version, what can I do to fix this?

I am bit hesitant about showing what $this->config is as it has sensitive information, let me know if you need it and I will try to recreate it without sensitive information.

Are you sure it's parsing the PHP in the first place? Can you check in the source code?= — Pekka

Did you enable short_open_tag? Before 5.4.0, the <?= ... ?> shorthand requires it, although it should be enabled by default. — netcoder

Sounds more like a JS error than a PHP error. Are you sure that <?= is working on your system and the PHP code is actually being executed? — Marc B

try <?php echo json_encode($this->config); ?> instead. if that doesn't work try printing $this->config maybe it's not accessible. — Dexa

Try with this:

<script type="text/javascript">
pepsiMedia.loadConfig(<?php echo json_encode($this->config); ?>);
$(document).ready(pepsiMedia.ready);
</script>
