PHP Array to YAML Converter

Turn any PHP return array into clean, well-formatted YAML. Multi-dimensional arrays with => arrow notation become indented YAML structures — perfect for moving from hardcoded PHP configs to YAML files.

Use Cases

• Laravel Migration — Convert Laravel config arrays to YAML files
• Config Extraction — Extract PHP array configs into standalone YAML
• Cross-Platform Config — Make PHP configs accessible to non-PHP tools
• Documentation — Generate YAML examples from existing PHP configs

Example

Input (PHP array):

<?php
return [
  'app' => [
    'name' => 'MyApp',
    'debug' => true,
    'port' => 8080,
  ],
  'database' => [
    'driver' => 'mysql',
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'credentials' => [
      'user' => 'admin',
      'password' => 'secret',
    ],
  ],
];

Output (YAML):

app:
  name: MyApp
  debug: true
  port: 8080
database:
  driver: mysql
  host: localhost
  credentials:
    user: admin
    password: secret
