如何使用php获取此JSON数组的注释总数？

Question

Im tring to show a list of articles on my site with a authour, date and comments field below the article so that users can see the number of comments for an article before even opening it.

The coments are from facebook and im using the graph api which returns the following JSON code per article, how do i get the total number of comments from this? Thanks

I have tried json_decode but the arrays am getting are all with count zero.

Answer 1

<?php
  ...
  $count = 0;
  $array = json_decode($input, true);
  foreach($array AS $website) {
    $count += count($website['comments']['data']);
  }
  ...
?>

$count is answer.

Bonus :)
