Do you want to follow the logic (i.e.: the ANDs or ORs), or simply parse out the values, or ? — John Parker

What I would try, is using string functions to replace all parens with square brackets, then wrap each number or word in quotes, then inserting a comma between each, until you have a string that you can use with json_decode() to parse into an array.
