I test your codes and I find a special character after ";" on this line:

$this->context->smarty->assign('categories', $cattegoryinfo);

Remove it and try again

There is an  character after the semicolon.

maybe this can help you: How to avoid echoing character 65279 in php? (This question also relates to Javascript xmlhttp.responseText (ajax))
