joshdifabio is technically correct, but I don't see this as a bug. You can't rewind a generator and thats what append iterator does.

If you want to use AppendIterator with Generators just wrap them with NoRewindIterator:

<?php
function foo() {
        foreach ([] as $foo) {
                yield $foo;
        }
}
$append = new AppendIterator();
$append->append(new NoRewindIterator(foo()));

var_dump(iterator_to_array($append));

Note that AppendIterator will segfault when iterating over an empty generator. Do not use AppendIterator in conjunction with generators.

In many cases, especially for streaming sources, Generators are way more efficient. I noticed that the AppendIterator buffers the entire "inner iterator".

<?php
/**
 * This appends $next iterator to $iterator.
 */
function append_iterators(...$iterators){
    foreach($iterators as $iterator)
        foreach($iterator as $row)
            yield($row);
}

/**
 * Merge iterator takes one first from each iterator until
 * every iterator is empty.
 */
function merge_iterators(....$its) {
    $numberOfIts = sizeof($its);
    while($numberOfIts > 0) {
        $iterator = array_shift($its);
        yield($iterator->current());
        $iterator->next();
        if($iterator->valid())
            $its[] = $iterator;
        else
            $numberOfIts--;
    }
});
?>
