Answer 1

Try this:

$arr = explode("<br>", $str);

$resp = array();
foreach ( $arr as $val ){
  $resp[] = array("stuff" => $val);
}

I think this code would solve your dilemma. Tell me if you need any clarification.

Try this:

<?php
    $str ="sometxt<br>another<br>moretext<br>evenmoretext<br>";
    $r = array("stuff" => explode("<br>", $str));
    print_r($r);
?>

Array
(
    [stuff] => Array
        (
            [0] => sometxt
            [1] => another
            [2] => moretext
            [3] => evenmoretext
            [4] => 
        )
