When you say you cannot access the json file, are you getting an error that you can show us? I might expect that your server is configured to protect the src folder – RiggsFolly Apr 11 '22 at 12:11

Generally speaking, you don't. The src folder contains the source code for the React app. It isn't something that should be directly used in production.
If you are using Webpack to build your production version then, as per this answer you can use the CopyWebpackPlugin plugin to copy the JSON file to your build directory and deploy it with the rest of the application.
That should give you a predictable file path (if the PHP is on the same system as the server for the React frontend) or URL (otherwise) that you can request with file_get_contents and then parse with json_decode.
