you can do this with a bit of reference magic...
<?php
$ref = null;
$keys = array("six","five","four","three","two","one");
$val = "string value"; // the node value
$arr = array(); // generated array
$ref =& $arr;
while ($key = array_pop($keys)) {
$ref[$key] = array();
$ref =& $ref[$key];
}
$ref = $val;
var_dump($arr);
?>
there might a cleaner/better way - if anyone can correct me I'd
be glad to learn :-)
