For some reason when I run the .php script:
$s = yaml_parse_file("../config.yaml") || die("YAML file not found");
var_dump($s);
it returns:
bool(true)
What on earth is going on? This has happened out of nowhere it was working fine for a week and I can't seem to fix it. I have installed using pecl install yaml and added "extension=yaml.so" to php.ini?
I have used online yaml regex testers and they return that it is okay. The format is (obviously with content):

You're assigning the result of the boolean operation to $s, since the || operator has a higher precedence than the assignment. So it's being evaluated as follows:
$s = (yaml_parse_file("../config.yaml") || die("YAML file not found"));
This returns true, since the initial expression returns a "truthy" value.
If you wrap the assignment in brackets, it will work as you are expecting:
($s = yaml_parse_file("../config.yaml")) || die("YAML file not found");
