PHP binding for LibYAML

Hi all,
I found the PHP binding for LibYAML.
php_yaml - http://www.opendogs.org/pub/php_yaml-0.3.0.tgz

The author rsky is known for QIQ, a next generation PHP.


Usage:
------------------
<?php
/// load yaml.so
if (! extension_loaded('yaml')) {
    dl('yaml.so') or die('cannot load yaml.so.');
}
/// configure to parse date and timestamp
if (function_exists('date_create')) {
  ini_set('yaml.decode_timestamp', 2);  // use DateTime
} else {
  ini_set('yaml.decode_timestamp', 1);  // use seconds (integer)
}
/// read YAML document
$str = file_get_contents("example.yaml");
$ydoc = yaml_parse($str);
/// or
//$ydoc = yaml_parse_file("example.yaml");
var_dump($ydoc);
?>
------------------


I found some problems in php_yaml.
(a) Currently it only supports loading YAML.
    It means that dumping is not available.
(b) Merge ('<<') is not supported.
(c) Default value ('=') is not supported.
(d) Scalar value can be empty string instead of NULL
    when no data specified.
(e) It can't parse '2008-01-01 12:34:56'.


I create a patch to fixe (d) and (e).

If you want to get YAML1.1 parser in PHP, try php_yaml.
