Laravel, convert JSON array to Array and get only one object from the array

Question

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Vinelab\Http\Client as HttpClient;
use App\Requests\SearchRequest;

use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class SearchResults extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('results.search-results');
    }

    public function store(Requests\SearchRequest $request)
    {

        $search_phrase = $request->input('search');

        $client = new HttpClient;

        $response = $client->get('https://www.reddit.com/search.json?q='. $search_phrase .'');

        $responseArray = $response->json();

        dd($responseArray);

        return view('results.search-results');

    }
}  

Using the code above, I am making a reddit API call using this HTTP service

The answer that comes back gives me an array from a lot of data, but I want to get the header field from this and parse it into a Laravel array, which can be sent to a view where I will display the headers in a foreach loop.

I thought it might be possible to save the name of the results in the database, and then query the database and send it through the view. I am new to all of this, so any help and theory would be appreciated.

Is there a way in Laravel 5.2 to convert the output of this JSON array to a useful array that can be compact and sent to a view?

Answer 1

, json Array.

json_decode($response->content(), true);

$response[0]['title']
