Here is a quick non recursive hack:

$url   = "/test/uri/to/heaven";
$parts = explode('/',$url);

$arr = array();
while ($bottom = array_pop($parts)) {        
    $arr = array($bottom => $arr);
}

var_dump($arr);

Output:

array(1) {
  ["test"]=>
  array(1) {
    ["uri"]=>
    array(1) {
      ["to"]=>
      array(1) {
        ["heaven"]=>
        array(0) {
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
