Trouble outputting json to php - php

Question

One of my sources for data recently changed how they are providing a json file to me, they added something before the actual output, and I am having trouble getting the values to display on my landing page.
Old json output
string(6596) "[{"id":239,"solution_id":3486," etc...
New json output
string(6614) "{"picker_offers":[{"id":239,"solution_id":3486," etc...
For my landing page I am using the following:
$datastream = json_decode($result);
foreach($datastream as $component) {
$productid = $component->id;
I was able to successfully output the data to php from their old output, but I am not sure how to get around the value "picker_offers" that is being passed as part of the json file, but it isn't part of the actual data to output.
How can I not include that "picker_offers", or what can I do to be able to read the data? With this new output there is an extra curly bracket wrapper called "picker_offers" around the entire output.
Thank you very much

Solution 1 : if you want to remove picker_offers
$datastream = json_decode($result);
$picker_offers = $datastream->picker_offers;
unset($datastream->picker_offers);
$datastream = $picker_offers;
foreach($datastream as $component) {
$productid = $component->id;
}
Solution 2 : if you don't want to remove picker_offers
$datastream = json_decode($result);
foreach($datastream->picker_offers as $component) {
$productid = $component->id;
}
