Runtime Configuration

The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.

Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.

yaml.decode_binary bool

Off by default, but can be set to on to cause base64 binary encoded entities which have the explicit tag "tag:yaml.org,2002:binary" to be decoded.

yaml.decode_php bool

Off by default, but can be set to on to cause serialized php objects which have the explicit tag "!php/object" to be unserialized.

yaml.decode_timestamp int

Controls the decoding of both implicit and explicit "tag:yaml.org,2002:timestamp" scalars in the YAML document stream. The default setting of 0 will not apply any decoding. A setting of 1 will use strtotime to parse the timestamp value as a Unix timestamp. A setting of 2 will use date_create to parse the timestamp value as DateTime object.

yaml.output_canonical bool

Off by default, but can be set to on to cause canonical form output.

yaml.output_indent int

Number of spaces to indent sections. Value should be between 1 and 10.

yaml.output_width int

Set the preferred line width. -1 means unlimited.
