If you are asking how to convert a string like "{mario.jumper.two}" to a php array like $game['mario']['jumper']='two'

$input="{mario.jumper.two}"
$input=str_replace( array('{','}') , '' ); //strip out brackets
$inputArray=explode('.',$input) // creates array( 'mario','jumper','two')
$game=array(
  $inputArray[0] => array(
      $inputArray[1] => $inputArray[2]
      )
);
