Decoding JSON using php and curl

Question

I'm having a problem making an array for foreach(){} for the json that uses curl to get a json from youtube. I already have the json decoded for the curl part but when I tried to decode using true to get the array for json_decode, I can't seem to get the array on each of the array output. How do i get each item and put it out as an array?

I already tried this website:
Decoding JSON using PHP
to get some help but its not working.

////////youtube api////////
$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
    CURLOPT_URL => "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&maxResults=5&order=rating&q=resident%20evil&type=video&videoEmbeddable=true&key=",
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",

));

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) 
    {
    echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else 
    {
    echo $response;
        //echo json_decode($response, true);

        $json_array = (array) json_decode($response, true);

        foreach($json_array as $json)
            {
                //echo $json['title']; // you can access your key value like this if result is array
                //echo $json['kind'][0];
               // echo $json['id'];
                //echo $json->title; // you can access your key value like this if result is object
//                
//                $error =  json_last_error();
//                var_dump($json, $error === JSON_ERROR_UTF8);

                //print $json->response->kind[0];

                //echo $error;
            }

}
/////youtube api//////

you code is fine, also (array) before json_decode($response, true) is useless , it is already an array. maybe you have a problem with receiving json. — S.Kashizadeh

You are looping in the top level array. You need to loop in the items index:

foreach($json_array['items'] as $json){
    echo $json['snippet']['title']."<br>";
    echo $json['kind'];           
}
