How to convert a yaml to PHP array?

Question

How could I do to convert data yaml in a array of PHP?

Yaml example:

Usuario:
    nome: Wallace
    idade: 25
    linguagens: 
        - PHP
        - Python
        - Javascript

Answer 1

A good way would be using the Yaml Component of Symphony.

Behold:

use Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser;

$yaml = new Parser();

$value = $yaml->parse(file_get_contents('/arquivo.yml'));

Reference: The Yaml Component

Answer 2

In the Manual for PHP, have an example:

$yaml = <<<EOD
Usuario:
    nome: Wallace
    idade: 25
    linguagens: 
        - PHP
        - Python
        - Javascript
EOD;

  $parsed = yaml_parse($yaml);

 echo "<pre>";
  print_r($parsed);

Just be sure to enable the extension: extension=yaml.so in the php.ini
