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 boolean

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 boolean

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 integer

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 boolean

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

yaml.output_indent integer

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

yaml.output_width integer

Set the preferred line width. -1 means
unlimited.
