Exclude the first result from an Array

Question

I am currently messing around with iTunes Api and have ran into a problem with the returning process of albums track list returning the first result as the actual album data instead of the tracklist.

$loop['artist_name'] = $counted[$x]->artistName;
$loop['album_id'] = $counted[$x]->collectionId;
$loop['album_name'] = $counted[$x]->collectionName;
$loop['track_number'] = $counted[$x]->trackCount;
$loop['artwork_url'] = $counted[$x]->artworkUrl100;
$loop['copyright'] = $counted[$x]->copyright;
$loop['genre'] = $counted[$x]->primaryGenreName;
$loop['release_date'] = $counted[$x]->releaseDate;

$data_b = file_get_contents('https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id='.$loop['album_id'].'&entity=song');
$response_ab = json_decode($data_b);
print '<pre>';
print_r($response_ab);
print '</pre>';

The above portion for print_r returns the following data.

[results] => Array
    (
        [0] => stdClass Object
            (
                [wrapperType] => collection
            )

        [1] => stdClass Object
            (
                [wrapperType] => track
            )

Then continues onward down the track list, how can I remove the first [0] option from my loop? It appears this only returns the album name anyway when I am trying to get the tracklist.

results is not a stdClass instance, but a mere array (an array that contains stdClass objects) … and once you realize that, researching how to remove the first element from an array should be easy enough, if still unknown. — C3roe

I didn't test the below code however it should work.

$data_b = file_get_contents('https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id='.$loop['album_id'].'&entity=song');
$response_ab = json_decode($data_b);

$count = $response_ab->results;
$arr = count($count);
for($a = 1; $a < $arr; $a++) {

// do some cool stuff here

}
