yaml_parse_file — Parse a YAML stream from a file

Description

yaml_parse_file ( string $filename [, int $pos = 0 [, int &$ndocs [, array $callbacks = NULL ]]] ) : mixed

Convert all or part of a YAML document stream read from a file to a PHP variable.

Parameters

filename

Path to the file.

pos

Document to extract from stream (-1 for all documents, 0 for first document, ...).

ndocs

If ndocs is provided, then it is filled with the number of documents found in stream.

callbacks

Content handlers for YAML nodes. Associative array of YAML tag => callable mappings. See parse callbacks for more details.

Return Values

Returns the value encoded in input in appropriate PHP type or FALSE on failure. If pos is -1 an array will be returned with one entry for each document found in the stream.

Notes

Warning Processing untrusted user input with yaml_parse_file() is dangerous if the use of unserialize() is enabled for nodes using the !php/object tag. This behavior can be disabled by using the yaml.decode_php ini setting.
