    You could do:

    <?php
$str = '[Name]asdasdasd [Email]dfgdfg@in.com [Phone Number]42342342342 [Subject]dsafsdfsd [Company Name]ZXZXZX [Country]Antarctica ';

preg_match_all('#\[([^\]]+)\]\s*([^\]\[]*[^\]\[\s])#msi', $str, $matches);

$keys = $matches[1];
$values = $matches[2];

// PHP 5
var_dump( array_combine($keys, $values) );
?>

array(6) {
  ["Name"]=>
  string(9) "asdasdasd"
  ["Email"]=>
  string(13) "dfgdfg@in.com"
  ["Phone Number"]=>
  string(11) "42342342342"
  ["Subject"]=>
  string(9) "dsafsdfsd"
  ["Company Name"]=>
  string(6) "ZXZXZX"
  ["Country"]=>
  string(10) "Antarctica"
}

    The regex is a bit more complicated looking, but it basically matches anything but [], allows whitespace in the value and makes sure that the last character isn’t [] or whitespace. You could probably get away with ([^\]\[\s]+) if you knew you were never going to have spaces.
