split an array into 2 objects laravel php

Question

i have an array which is like below :

"["events/81.jpg","events/Ancient.2.jpg","events/post.jpg"]"

this is the result of a dd now what i want to do is to change this to a collection with 3 objects so i can loop into that and show it in front end . how can i do that what i tried was like below :

explode(',','$media');

but this brings the [ charachter too so i cant show it in front end . the full result of the dd is as below :

attributes: array:11 [▼
    "id" => 1
    "title" => "test"
    "description" => "<p>test</p>"
    "teaser" => "events\December2020\G0SiKVIYomU9SMuuE8ux.jpg"
    "media" => "["events/88c7ae4a-8a0a-467f-b09c-0f50206a35eb.jpg","events/Ancient.Aliens.S14E05.480p.Film2Movie_WS.mkv_snapshot_06.45.jpg","events/post.jpg"]"
    "price" => 11998
    "start_at" => "2020-12-28 00:00:00"
    "finish_at" => "2020-12-28 00:00:00"
    "is_free" => 1
    "created_at" => "2020-12-28 11:15:00"
    "updated_at" => "2020-12-28 11:30:41"
  ]

That's not an array, it's a string representation of one. You can json_decode it:

json_decode($media)

Output:

Array
(
    [0] => events/81.jpg
    [1] => events/Ancient.2.jpg
    [2] => events/post.jpg
)

@Farshad you can convert it into a collection after it's been converted to an array. e.g. $collection = collect(json_decode($media));
