Answer 1

You could use a regular expression. Something like /\\},(\\s+)\\]/m should work.

$data = preg_replace('/\},(\s+)\]/m', '}$1]', $data);

But instead of fixing this part, you should fix the code, which generates the wrong , inside the json string.

Answer 2

You can do something like this:

$str = '{"messages":[{"a":"a","a":"","a":"Title : Test Image","a":"+923346455485"},{"a":"a","a":"","a":"Title : Test Image","a":"+923346455485"},]}';

if (!empty(strrpos($str, '"},]'))) {
    $str[strrpos($str, ',', strrpos($str, '"},]'))] = '';
}

echo $str;

But I strictly advise against this and suggest you to replace the code where this string is formed in the Backend assuming you are trying to construct a JSON string.

Hope this helps.

您也可以尝试：

$string = substr_replace($string, '', strrpos($string, ','), 1);
