Yesterday I wrote about updating PHP’s YAML-parsing extension — Syck.
Some updates:
- I believe, I fixed all memory leaks, it had (They were quite large, must tell you)
- Why (Syck’s author) told me, that there will be new release in a month or so, which will include my patches
Until then, I encourage you to build php-extension using sources from subversion
Instructions (for those who need them):
- Install Syck-library using your favorite package-manager (stable 0.55 version will do)
- svn export http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/syck/trunk/ext/php/ syck-php
- cd syck-php
- phpize
- ./configure
- make
- sudo make install
- add extension=syck.so to your php.ini file
- restart apache or fastcgi processes

Nice work!
Is there a way do the opposite, that is: serialize PHP structures into YAML?
As I can geuss from the source there is jsut syck_load for now, would it be tiresome to add a save method?
Cheers,
Alex
Aljoscha: that’s in the plans
