I've figured out I need the substr_count function.
However, counting strings like this: [1] [2] [3] ... [215] ...
inside a large string element. damn.
The string got quite a few different numbers and keys but the main key is
alway within [] and is numeric.
I imagine I could use a $counter++.
I just dont see how I should aproach this.
Anyone got an Idea?

Apologies if I missed what you were after.. but maybe you might try this:
<?php
$string = 'However, counting strings like this: [1] [2] [3] ... [215] ...';
$result = preg_match_all('/\[([0-9]+)\]/U', $string, $matches);
if (! $result )
echo "No matches\n";
echo "Count: ". count($matches[1]);
--------------
Results in:
Count: 4
