Question

I’am trying to rewrite zend framework configuration file from application.ini to application.yml format and I have some unsolvable problem for me.

in application.ini i have this:

pluginPaths.Bisna\Application\Resource\ = "Bisna/Application/Resource"

and it works. But if I try it write to yaml file I get an error about unsupported syntax

pluginPaths:
  Bisna\Application\Resource\: Bisna/Application/Resource

I tried so much ways to solve this, but no worked..

Any idea?

It seems that Zend_Config_Yaml doesn’t support the backslash in the key names. The relevant line in the source code is the following:

preg_match(“/(\w+):\s*(.*)/”, $line, $m)

(Zend/Config/Yaml.php, line 313 in ZF 1.11.11). It’s matching only [A-Za-z0-9_] for the YAML key names.

The parsing method is different from Zend_Config_Ini, which uses a call to the parse_ini_file() PHP function. That’s why it was working with .ini files.

So, I don’t think there is any easy solution, unless you want to modify the ZF source code (which I don’t recommend).

Hope that helps,
