If you put each string on a line and separate the arrays with a blank
line you can read it back using

array_map(function ($s) { return explode("\n", $s); },
          explode("\n\n", get_file_contents($filename)));

though you may need to do some white space trimming, and if you can't
assume anonymous functions, it's hardly much longer.  Of course, you
then can't extend the format and you might need to document it...
