Kim, May the hack-o-rama commence:
<?php
$str = "[layer1][layer2][layer3][layer4]";
$parts = explode("][", substr($str, 1, -1));
$text = "";
foreach ($parts as $part) {
$text .= 'a:1:{s:' . strlen($part) . ':"' . $part . '";';
}
$text .= 'b:1;' . str_repeat('}', count($parts));
print_r(unserialize($text));
?>
It works, but I'm not proud. :P
David
