Get The Generator¶

<?php

function foo() {
    yield 1;
    return "a";
}

function goo($a) {
    print $a . PHP_EOL;
}

goo(...($generator = foo()));

print $generator->getReturn();
// la

foreach (($generator = foo()) as $b) {
    print $b . PHP_EOL;
}
print $generator->getReturn();
// la

?>

It is possible to catch a generator when it is called, by putting it in a variable. Once the generator has been used, it is possible to call a method such as getReturn on it.

This works with ... and foreach.
