In the project I'm working on, it's a CMS, and within it I manage brand website themes. My question is I need to read the header of the file, how do I do this inside the controller?
I need somehow to read this file and list the titles of headers or footers that exist in it.
I'm using this package: https://github.com/antonioribeiro/yaml
There's a great article about YAML here.
To excerpt from the page, you only need to follow a few simple steps:
1 Install the Symfony YAML Component using composer:
composer require symfony/yaml 2 In config/app.php under aliases, add the following entry:
'Yaml' => 'Symfony\Component\Yaml\Yaml' 3 In your desired controller/service:
use Yaml; $yamlContents = Yaml::parse(file_get_contents('filepath')); And that's it.
This solution works fairly universally, relying on PHP's composer library for you to include the library, then simply calling parse methods to unmarshal your YAML into a usable PHP variable. For the example shown here, try something like:
print_r($yamlContents) To see how to use the data now that it's been converted.
