Tries to convert a PHP variable of any type to yaml. This is EXTREMELY experimental, I'm just playing around.

PHP Yaml encode

<?php

function renderYaml($result, $prefix = '', $indentation = 0, $ptype = '')
{
	
	$result = json_decode(json_encode($result)); // convert key based arrays to objects
	
	$indent = $prefix;
	for ($c=0;$c<$indentation; $c++) {
		$indent = '    ' . $indent;
	}
	
	$type = gettype($result);
	switch ($type)
	{
		case 'boolean':
			echo ($result ? 'ON' : 'OFF');
			break;
		case 'string':
			if (strpos($result, "\n") !== false)
			{
				echo "|\n" . $indent;
				$result = str_replace("\n", "\n" . $indent, $result);
			}
			echo $result;
			break;
		case 'integer':
		case 'double':
			echo $result;
			break;
		case 'array':
			$first = true;
			if ($ptype == 'object') {
				echo "\n";
				$first = false;
			}
			foreach ($result AS $v)
			{
				if ( ! $first) echo $indent;
				echo '- ';
				
				$this->renderYaml($v, $prefix . '  ', $indentation, $type);
				
				$first = false;
			}
			break;
		case 'object':
			$first = true;
			if ($ptype == 'object') {
				echo "\n";
				$first = false;
			}
			foreach ($result AS $k => $v)
			{
				if ( ! $first) echo $indent;
				echo $k . ': ';
				
				$this->renderYaml($v, $prefix, $indentation + 1, $type);
				$first = false;
			}
			break;
		default:
			echo $type;
			break;
	}
	
	echo "\n";
	
}
