Invalid JSON Response

Hi I have inherited a CMS system which uses Datatables and I'm attempting to add Editor as there is no front end edit facility but unfortunately I'm struggling. I have attempted to try using the example but unfortunately I'm getting Invalid JSON Response. I'm fairly new at debugging JavaScript so I don't fully understand the info I'm getting despite following the instructions. Can anybody point me the right direction to find a plain English resource that will help me get to the bottom of why the examples won't work.
Thank you in advance.

The details at the tech note the error points to will show how to find out what the server is responding with, since it isn't valid JSON. The question is, if it isn't valid JSON, what is it? Normally there will be an error message or some other indication of what the issue is.

Hi The error it brings up is this but unfortunately so far I'm not smart enough to figure out why.

<b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or '(' in <b>/home/a9761783/public_html/Editor-PHP-1.5.5/examples/php/staff.php</b> on line <b>12</b><br />

My guess is that you are using a very old version of PHP - 5.2 perhaps? The Editor libraries require PHP 5.3 or newer.

Sounds like I'd better get in touch with the hosting people. Thank you very much.
