PHP-Handbuch: Send a value to the generator

Beschreibung

public mixed Generator::send ( mixed $value )

Sends the given value to the generator as the result of the current yield expression and resumes execution of the generator.

If the generator is not at a yield expression when this method is called, it will first be let to advance to the first yield expression before sending the value. As such it is not necessary to "prime" PHP generators with a Generator::next call (like it is done in Python).

Parameter-Liste

value: Value to send into the generator. This value will be the return value of the yield expression the generator is currently at.

Rückgabewerte

Returns the yielded value.

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 Using Generator::send to inject values


<?php
function printer() {
    echo "I'm printer!".PHP_EOL;
    while (true) {
        $string = yield;
        echo $string.PHP_EOL;
    }
}

$printer = printer();
$printer->send('Hello world!');
$printer->send('Bye world!');
?>

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

I'm printer!
Hello world!
Bye world!
