Answer 1

This should do it:

$result->tuc[0]->phrase->text;

You should really post the var_dump result in your question, and not just link to it, so the q&a remains on SO.

Answer 2

To handle json, PHP offers the json_encode and json_decode functions.

Encoding

$array = [
    'key' => 'value'
];

$jsonString = json_encode($array);

Decoding

// Decoding will make your json into an object
// If you require json_decode() to output an array,
// you should pass true as a second parameter
$object = json_decode($jsonString);
$array = json_decode($jsonString, true);

// To access a value
echo $json->key;
