Exploring Coroutines in PHP


Coroutines are functions that pause and resume with state, allowing flexible, bidirectional control flow in PHP.

Note: Even in a symmetrical coroutine situation, at some point, the control must be released back to the original calling code for the program to finish. However, neither those nested functions nor the callback that starts the fiber have access to a$this variable representing the currently running instance. In a next post, we’ll dive into concurrency in PHP, exploring event loops like Revolt, coroutine schedulers, and async libraries like ReactPHP.
