dojo ajax content,javascript - SyntaxError: Unexpected Token <(...) - dojo/ajax - Stack Overflow

I'm using the following AJAX in my project

var _getWeatherInfo = function(ntown){

//Debugging

console.log("Before dojo.xhrget");

//dojo ajax request used to call the PHP file and retrieve the towns data

dojo.xhrGet({

handleAs: "json",

timeout: 5000,

//php file URL (location)

url: "PHP/weather.php?ntown=" + ntown,

load: function(results) {

//send the results to the function _refreshWeatherList

_refreshWeatherList(results);

}

});

//Debugging

console.log("After dojo.xhrget");

}

In order to retrieve weather data for cities/towns. However, its been a while since i worked on this project and i'm having trouble understanding why this is no longer working (it was working last time i ran this project).

In the browser console im getting the following error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
