function fun(){
  
  $st = "This is [[a valid] st]ring";
  
  $a = str_split($st);
  $brack_opens = array_keys($a,"[");
  $brack_close = array_keys($a,"]");
  
  if(count($brack_opens)==count($brack_close)) return "true";
  
  return "false";
  
}

print(fun());

That doesn't work. It would return valid for a string like this "This is ]]a valid[ st[ring"
