Umm... that isn't a multidimensional array. Translation follows:

array(2) { // Start of array with 2 elements
["foo"]=> // Element with key "foo" is ...
string(5) "Stuff" // ... a 5 character string "Stuff"
["bar"]=> // Element with key "bar" is ...
string(10) "More Stuff" // ... a 10 character string "More Stuff"
} // End of array.

A multidimensional array would look more like this:

array(1) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
["foo"]=>
string(5) "Stuff"
["bar"]=>
string(10) "More Stuff"
}
}
