What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Fresh PDT-all-in-one install + smartypdt 0.5.2
2. create new tpl file
3. error shows even if you put '{' as first char in tpl file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
no error?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.5.2

Please provide any additional information below.

I am running 0.5.2 with a clean PDT-all-in-one install too with smartypdt 
0.5.2. It 
gives exactly the same error as described above. I installed it on ubuntu 7.10.

However, I just did a clean install on an XP box, and the error didn't show up 
there. Maybe it's related to the installed jre..

On my ubuntu installation, I am using the sun-java6-jre package.

I have the same error. PDT 1.0.2 Stable Build: S20071213-M1 and
smartypdt 0.5.2 + WIN XP SP2 (all updates) + Java 1.6.0_03.

I recompiled JSONObject in plugin jar file, adding some debug information
line 178:

if (x.nextClean() != '{') 
{
    throw x.syntaxError("A JSONObject text must begin with '{' JSONTokener is: ***" + x.toString() + "*** ||| ");
}

Now i get this error:

"A JSONObject text must begin with '{' JSONTokener is: *** at character 1 of 
Status: 404*** |||  at character 1 of Status: 404"

Means something? Any help here?
Thanks, i keep trying debugging this error.

Looks like the php.exe not in cli mode, and returns http headers too.

So the problem is that the PHP in CGI mode instead of CLI, this means, that the 
PHP 
will put HTTP headers before any content which the PHP script generate, and in 
this 
way, the php script in the plugin will return invalid JSON object.

The solution:
U can switch the default PHP executable (used by plugins in eclipse) by go to 
Window / Preferences, on the left tree find PHP / Debug, on the right panel 
search 
for Default settings, and select a CLI type PHP executable. In my case this is 
PHP 
5.2.5 (CLI). Of course this Smarty PDT plugin needs Zend Debugger, and the 
default 
PHP Debugger is Zend Debugger.

After this, in the left tree u will have to search for PHP / PHP Executables, 
and on 
the right panel a CLI type of PHP, and after that click on the "Set Default" 
button.

After these settings mod it have to be working.

Maybe this is a feature request for the developers of this plugin, to handle 
this 
situation. If PHP in CGI mode u can cut the header and content part away at the 
first empty line. The content is after that empty line.

I hope this will help many peoples.

Linux-gtk-3.3.3
pdt-1.0.3
smarty_0.5.5

I get this only after saving files with 0.5.5, files saved with 0.5.4 + 
pdt-1.0.2 are
still ok even in 0.5.5.

It doesn't solve my problem after I set it to PHP 5.2.5 (CLI). Anyone have 
solution
for this?

I worked for me, I had to re-analyze my code before it fixed it though.  If you
haven't done so try that.

You need to pass the response to an JSONArray instead of JSONObject.
        JSONArray jsonArry = JSONArray.fromObject(response);
and then iterate the array for the specific elements.
