How to convert a yaml to PHP array?

In the PHP Manual , you 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 on php.ini

To install: link
For linux: link

A good way would be to use Yaml Component of Symphony .

See:

use Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser;

$yaml = new Parser();

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