Finding a value inside a nested array having only a string with the keys

I have one array that contains some settings that looks like basically like this:$defaults = array( 'variable' => 'value', 'thearray' => array( 'foo' => 'bar' 'myvar' => array('morevars' => 'morevalues'); ););On another file, i get a string with the first level key and it's childs to check if there is a value attached to it. Using the array above, i'd get something like this:$option = "thearray['myvar']['morevars']";I need to keep this string with a similar format to the above because I also need to pass it to another function that saves to a database and having it in an array's format comes in handy.My question is, having the array and the string above, how can i check for both, existance and value of the given key inside the array? array_key_exists doesn't seem to work below the first level.
