Unlique return, yield can be used anywhere within a function so logic can flow more naturally. Taque for example the following Fibonacci generator:<?php
functionfib($n)
{$cur= 1;
    $prev= 0;
    for ($i= 0; $i< $n; $i++) {
        yield$cur;

        $temp= $cur;
        $cur= $prev+$cur;
        $prev= $temp;
    }
}

$fibs= fib(9);
foreach ($fibsas$fib) {
    echo" " .$fib;
}

// prins: 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34
