Don't use FILE_APPEND. You're already appending the new entry to $content, so you need to rewrite the file completely, not add the new array after the old one.

    //add the new data
    $content[] = array( 
        'backgroundImage' => $bi ,
        'description' => $ad,
        'extraImages' => $ei,
        'group' => array('backgroundImage' => $gbi, 'description' => $gd, 'groupImage' => $gi, 'key' => $gk, 'shortTitle' => $gst, 'title' => $gt,),
        'teacherReview' => $tr,
        'rating' => $rating,
        'shortTitle' => $st,
        'tileImage' => $ti,
        'title' => $title
        );

    //encode the new data
    $content_json = json_encode($content);
    file_put_contents( $savePath , $content_json );
