YAML to PHP Array Converter

Convert any YAML configuration into a PHP return array. Keys are quoted, values are properly typed, and nested structures become multi-dimensional arrays — ready to drop into your PHP project.

Use Cases

• Laravel Config — Convert YAML specs into PHP config arrays
• Symfony Projects — Generate PHP array configurations from YAML
• Code Snippets — Quickly produce PHP array syntax from YAML data
• Cross-Language Migration — Move YAML-based configs into PHP codebases

Example

Input (YAML):

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

Output (PHP array):

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