Writing in a YAML file.

So sometime soon im going to create a plugin that uses a "cmds.yml" folder which i know how to use most of yaml things, except im not totally sure how to writ new keys.

PHP:

public function createCmd(string $name, string $cmd, int $time){
$write = [
 
"$name" =>
[
"cmd" =>
[
"$cmd",
]
"time" => (int)$time,
]
];
}


And i want it to turn out something like

Code:

name:
 cmds:
  - cmd 1
  - cmd 2
 time: 2

But im not sure how to do this.

 

Try using yaml_emit_file(string $file, mixed $data). It'll turn the data into a yaml presentation, AKA what you're trying to do. Note that yaml_emit_file() will replace all content in the file, not add to it. If you'd like to add to it, you could yaml_parse_file(string $file) to get an array containing content from a file, then add data to that array, and finally putting it back using yaml_emit_file(string $file, array $data) again.

To add things, you could then when you have that data, edit it using array syntax. For example: $data["name"]["cmds"][] = "command";

 

How can i add things like an array.
For example:

Code:

cmd:
 - 1
 - 2
 - 3 # how do i add on to this?

 

$data["cmd"][3] = ...
