Example #1 yaml_emit() example

<?php
$addr = array(
"given" => "Chris",
"family"=> "Dumars",
"address"=> array(
"lines"=> "458 Walkman Dr.
Suite #292",
"city"=> "Royal Oak",
"state"=> "MI",
"postal"=> 48046,
),
);
$invoice = array (
"invoice"=> 34843,
"date"=> 980208000,
"bill-to"=> $addr,
"ship-to"=> $addr,
"product"=> array(
array(
"sku"=> "BL394D",
"quantity"=> 4,
"description"=> "Basketball",
"price"=> 450,
),
array(
"sku"=> "BL4438H",
"quantity"=> 1,
