Using YML file in Laravel

I have a YML file with a list of data, I would like to include the data in my laravel project but have no idea how. I am familiar with the symfony way using 'sfconfig'. But after a quick bit of research I am unable to even echo the yml data out in to my laravel view. In the end I would like to loop through the data and generate a usuable array

YML file data 

ACT:
  city: Canberra
  regions:
    -
      key: Canberra
      name: Canberra
      slug: canberra

etc...

I am using Laravel 5, Thanks

why don't you use yaml_parse_file ?

First write extension=yaml.so without any quotes in your php.ini file.

And then:

$data = yaml_parse($yaml_file);
print_r($data);

$data is an array through which you can easily iterate!

Laravel internally uses the Symfony YAML component, so it's available for use readily in your project without adding any PHP extensions. Simply use it and call it:

use Symfony\Component\Yaml\Yaml;

...

print_r(Yaml::parse('a: b'));
