将字符串转换为数组

Question

这是我的String数据

[  
   'EDUCATION_LEVEL'   =>'MIDDLE_LEVEL',
   'EDUCATION_PROFESSIONAL'   =>'APPRENTICESHIP',
   'Family_Father'   =>'M.Sharif #03312887233',
   'PROFILE_IMAGE_1'   =>'"file_type" => "image",
   "file_saved_path"   => "public/images/34_php4A2A.tmp.jpg"',
   'COWORKER_REFERENCE_1'   =>'Mr. xyz work place partner #03312887233',
   'COWORKER_REFERENCE_3'   =>'Mr. Abc work place partner #03312887233',
   'BIRTH_CITY'   =>'Rahim Yar Khan',
   'BIRTHPLACE_PROVINCE'   =>'Punjab',
   'BIRTH_DISTRICT'   =>'SadiqAbad',
   'WORKING_PROVINCE'   =>'Sindh',
   'WORKING_PROVINCE_CITY'   =>'Karachi East',
   'WORKING_CITY_AREA'   =>'Gulsan-i-Iqbal',

我尝试了很多在网上找到的选项

$data = (array)($chardata);
$data = (object)($chardata);

我想要对象或数组，我可以从中获取类似的东西

$data['EDUCATION_LEVEL'];
or
$data->EDUCATION_LEVEL
