Backup contact is Nancy Billsmer @ 338-4338.", );// generate a YAML representation of the invoice$yaml = yaml_emit($invoice);var_dump($yaml);// convert the YAML back into a PHP variable$parsed = yaml_parse($yaml);// check that roundtrip conversion produced an equivalent structurevar_dump($parsed == $invoice);?>The above example will output something similar to:
