Create Array From String w/ Commas in Values

If I have a example string like this: "dataset1"=>"blank","gdataset"=>"f1,f2"

I'm trying to create an array of the key/value pairs. Desired array result should look like this:

Array(
 [0] => "dataset1"=>"blank"
 [1] => "gdataset"=>"f1,f2"
)

I've tried http_build_query & explode w/o success, as the array key or value is getting mangled.

What should I use to get the desired array?

It's kind of hackish, but just replace "," with "","" to keep the quotes and then explode on ",":

$result = explode('","', str_replace('","', '"",""', $string));

But I'm positive that there is a much better way to do whatever you are doing in general. Maybe a new question outlining why you are doing this?
