Answer 1

Instead of doing it your way like { "result":"$result", "count":3 }

I would have done like this.

I would have specified a short code for the variable for this

{ "result":"**result**", "count":3 }

and when I will get that JSON in PHP, just replace that with my desired PHP variable

$event = file_get_contents('test.json');

var $result = "hello";
$parsed_json = str_replace("**result**",  $result,$event  );
