Twilio API PHP list available Phone numbers for purchase API Version 5.X

I am looking for a little assistance on listing available phone numbers for purchase using Twilios API and PHP for their 5.X API Verison. Below is the error I get and the PHP im using. Im sure im just overlooking something:

PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /twilio-php-app/findnumbers.php on line 16 PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /twilio-php-app/findnumbers.php on line 16

<?php
// Get the PHP helper library from https://twilio.com/docs/libraries/php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; // Loads the library
use Twilio\Rest\Client;

// Your Account Sid and Auth Token from twilio.com/user/account
$sid = "Axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$token = "removed";
$client = new Client($sid, $token);


$numbers = $client->availablePhoneNumbers('US')->local->read(
array("areaCode" => "513")
);

foreach($numbers->availablephonenumbers as $number) {
echo $number->phone_number;
}

If I echo $numbers I find it is an array. Here is the raw output where I just want to get the "phone_number": "xxxxxx" output; minus the "phone_number": part.

output of array Screenshot

Adding to this, if I run the PHP as the following; I get single number outputs

$numbers = $client->availablePhoneNumbers('US')->local->read(
array("areaCode" => "513")
);

echo $numbers[1]->phoneNumber;

Changing the value of [1] to [2] grabs the next phone number. How can I loop this?

Might not be done 100% correct but I found a solution that increases the count of the array based on count and stacks the numbers nicely.

Sharing this in case anyone else ever comes across this and needs help; this does exactly what its intended to.... Search the twilio databse for available numbers to purchase, based on criteria

<?php
// Get the PHP helper library from https://twilio.com/docs/libraries/php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; // Loads the library
use Twilio\Rest\Client;

// Your Account Sid and Auth Token from twilio.com/user/account
$sid = "your_SID";
$token = "Your_Token";
$client = new Client($sid, $token);

$numbers = $client->availablePhoneNumbers('US')->local->read(
array("areaCode" => "513")
);

for ($i = 0; $i < count($numbers); ++$i) {
print $numbers[$i]->phoneNumber . "\n";
}

Just an observation, but you are already using the availablePhoneNumbers method on $client when you say $numbers = $client->availablePhoneNumbers...

Perhaps, in the foreach, you just need to reference $numbers and not $numbers->availablephonenumbers?
