The requested URL /inc/write_json.php was not found on this server.

My code is as follows: <?php

$new_book = [ 'title' => filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'title', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING), 'link' => filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'link', FILTER_SANITIZE_URL), 'book_image_url' => filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'book_image_url', FILTER_SANITIZE_URL), 'book_description' => filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'book_description', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING), 'num_pages' => filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'num_pages', FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT), 'author_name' => filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'author_name', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING), 'isbn' => filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'isbn', FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT), 'average_rating' => filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'average_rating', FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_FLOAT), 'book_published' => filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'book_published', FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT) ];

$file = '../data/json/top_programming_books.json'; $books = json_decode(file_get_contents($file));

if (is_object($books->collection->books[0])) { $books->collection->books[] = $new_book; }

$json = json_encode($books); echo '<pre>' . $json . '</pre>';
