There's no need for a foreach loop in your current example, as you only have one level.
Your main problem is you're trying to use the result of your json_decode as an object when you've previously stated you want the result as an associative array.
The 2nd param of json_decode specifies what format the return value is in, so as you've done
$decoded = json_decode($jsonString, true);
you'll receive an array, which you could access like
echo $decoded['totalSize'];
if you wanted to treat it as on object as you've done in your question, either state false or omit a 2nd param in json_decode (it's false by default anyway), and that'll let you do what you're trying to do:
$decoded = json_decode($jsonString);
$decoded->totalSize;

Answer 3

lets say that
$myJSON = yourPostedJSON.
$myJSON = json_decode($myJSON, true);
echo $myJSON['webUserId'];
echo $myJSON['webPassword'];
