]);

foreach ($playlists->items as $playlist) {
    echo '<a href="' . $playlist->external_urls->spotify . '">' . $playlist->name . '</a> <br>';
}

Getting info about a specific playlist

$playlist = $api->getPlaylist('PLAYLIST_ID');

echo $playlist->name;

Getting all tracks in a playlist

    echo '<a href="' . $track->external_urls->spotify . '">' . $track->name . '</a> <br>';
}
