Kim,
After some contemplation (and slightly less crack):
<?php
$str = "[layer1][layer2][layer3][layer4]";
$parts = array_reverse(explode("][", substr($str, 1, -1)));
$array = "FOO";
foreach ($parts as $part) {
$array = array($part => $array);
}
print_r($array);
?>
Array
(
[layer1] => Array
(
[layer2] => Array
(
[layer3] => Array
(
[layer4] => FOO
)
)
)
)
