Question. How to get to the "hashtags" array and its text:nerd key/values?
I can get to "statuses" to text value. As I understand it, "statuses" is like a parent for everyone else who is nested in it. This is how I invoke it:

$tweetsArray = json_decode($response, true);
foreach($tweetsArray['statuses'] as $item) {
    echo '<li>'.$item['text'].'</li>'."\n";
}

I do not know how to get if any array is nested. Thanks in advance
