That's what I came up with too.
$key = "bar[1]";
preg_match("/(.*)\[(\d)\]/",$key,$m);
$name=$m[1];
$index=$m[2];
$myarray=$foo->$name;
print $myarray[$index];

Very interested in other solutions.  If bar comes in as an array (like
$_POST[bar][1]) you could probably use array_keys to suck out keys,
although I haven't tried it.
