How do I convert PHP to YAML?

Paste your PHP code into the input field, choose PHP as the source and YAML as the target, then click "Convert". The tool will parse the PHP array/object and generate valid YAML with correct indentation. You can then copy the output or download it as a .yaml file.

Why should I convert PHP to YAML?

YAML is a human-readable data format used for configuration in tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Ansible. Converting PHP arrays to YAML removes the need for a PHP interpreter in runtime environments, makes configuration files easier to read and edit by non-coders, and helps decouple data from application logic.

How does the converter handle PHP data types and structures?

The converter maps PHP sequential arrays to YAML sequences and associative arrays to YAML mappings. Scalar types like strings, integers, floats, booleans, and null are preserved automatically. PHP object properties are converted using their visibility — public properties become YAML keys, while private/protected ones are ignored unless you enable the option to include them.

Is PHP-TO-YAML free to use?

Yes, PHP-TO-YAML on LetsConvert is 100% free with no registration or hidden fees required.

Are my uploaded files safe and secure?

Does this converter work on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes! PHP-TO-YAML works seamlessly across iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Linux browsers without installing any app.
