Unexpected token when doing remote json call

I've searched everywhere but just can't solve this problem:

When i copy the content of the json file locally it works (without callback=?)

However when i do a crossdomain call i get the following error in the console:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :

this is my code:

 var url='http://www.motor-forum.nl/json.php?type=json&callback=?';
        $.getJSON(url,function(json){
            $.each(json.globals, function(i,data){
               $("#results").html(data.board_reactid);
            });
        });

Hopefully somebody can help me out here

I've just tried your API - it does not support JSONP. Getting stuff from remote servers isn't as simple as going &callback=? on URLs - the remote server needs to openly support it.

JSONP works across cross-domain restrictions by loading the return in a script tag. This means that the object must be evaluable as a script. For JSONP, the user provides a callback name in the URL, and the return JSON object is then wrapped in a function call to it (myCallBackName({object});).
