Explode foreach to new array - php

Question

I have JSON API response which look something like this
Array
(
[sections] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 115000089967
[url] => xxxxx
[html_url] => ArticleHTML1
[category_id] => 204458828
[position] => 0
[sorting] => manual
[created_at] => 2016-12-19T14:56:23Z
[updated_at] => 2017-02-03T08:23:04Z
[name] => ArticleName1
[description] =>
[outdated] =>
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 207077828
[url] => xxxxxx
[html_url] => ArticleHTML2
[category_id] => 204458828
[position] => 1
[sorting] => manual
[created_at] => 2016-11-14T09:28:30Z
[updated_at] => 2017-02-02T09:15:42Z
[name] => ArticleName2
[description] =>
[outdated] =>
)
)
[page] => 1
[per_page] => 30
[page_count] => 1
[sort_by] => position
[sort_order] => asc
)
I have successfully iterated this with foreach, so return looks like this:
ArticleName1 ArticleHTML1
ArticleName2 ArticleHTML2
So I took [name] and [html_url] from each like this:
$details1 = array('name');
$details2 = array('html_url');
foreach($sections['sections'] as $article) {
foreach($details1 as $detail) {
echo "$article[$detail] ";
}
foreach($details2 as $detail) {
echo "$article[$detail]\n";
}
}
But what I want next is that, that response should be exploded to one single array like this:
Array
(
[0] => ArticleName1 ArticleHTML1
[1] => ArticleName2 ArticleHTML2
)
I already managed to explode those to individual arrays:
foreach($sections['sections'] as $article) {
foreach($details1 as $detail) {
$name = "$article[$detail] ";
}
foreach($details2 as $detail) {
$url = "$article[$detail]\n";
}
$string = $name . $url;
$array = explode(' ', $string, 1);
print_r($array);
}
but I need just one array.
How? I'm lost or just doesn't understand, am I even close?
EDIT
The thing here is that the JSON dump is pretty large and I only need few things (name and url). So I was thinking that I first grab the whole thing, then I just take the names and urls (like the first foreach is doing), and then put those back to array. Because from those names and urls I need only last 12 keys, and taking those from sinlge array would be easy.
Tho it would be perfect, if I could sort out the keys which I don't want, in the first place. That would solve my problem. Then I wouldn't need a new array etc.

You're making this much more difficult than it needs to be. It's just a single loop:
$array = array();
foreach ($sections['sections'] as $article) {
$array[] = $article['name'] . ' ' . $article['html_url'];
}
