json inside html php comment?

Question

PHP

If you open the page, it will be empty, and if you open it through code views, then an html comment will appear in which the JSON data is located. How to read such JSON page with php?

Answer 1

the easiest

$string = "...html comment...";
$string  = substr($string, 0, -3);
$string = substr($string, 4);
return json_decode($string);

or you can use regular expressions to pull out the beginning and end of the comment
