                    $obj  = json_decode($dateTimeArr); 
        $dateAr = $obj->{'startDate'};

As everyone said, and you did - use json_decode.

    $dateArrays  = json_decode($dateTimeArr, true); // decode JSON to associative array
    foreach($dateArrays as $dateArr){
        echo $dateArr['startDate']; 
        echo $dateArr['totalTime']; 
    }

In future, if you are unsure what type or structure of data is in the variable, do var_dump($var) and it will print type of variable and its content.

Guess what you are looking for is json_decode()

Check out http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php for the inner workings

It is very easy:

$Arr = json_decode($JSON, true);

json_decode() will give you nested PHP types you can then descend to retrieve your data.
