It's better to give people code in text form, rather than use screenshots, so they can import the code more easily into their system, to test to see if they get the same issue. Have you tried the Json validator to validate your Json output? https://jsonlint.com/ Your Json looks fine to me. Is it to do with the MIME type: https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/json-php-unexpected-error/84995 "header('Content-type: application/json'); echo json_encode($data);"
