PHP > syntax error, unexpected '$object' (T_VARIABLE)

Question

was getting some errors before as was running PHP 5.3 so fixed that with upgrading to PHP 5.4 but not getting this error... any ideas?

ERROR:

[Thu Aug 11 00:02:27 2016] [error] [client 90.200.49.107] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$object' (T_VARIABLE) in /src/Shopify/Client.php on line 370

LINE 370: yield $object; (from function below)

PHP

public function getResourcePager($resource, $limit = NULL, array $opts = []) {
    $current_page = 1;
    if (!isset($opts['query']['limit'])) {
      $opts['query']['limit'] = ($limit ?: $this->default_limit);
    }
    while (TRUE) {
      $opts['query']['page'] = $current_page;
      $result = $this->get($resource, $opts);
      if (empty($result)) {
        break;
      }
      foreach (get_object_vars($result) as $resource_name => $results) {
        if (empty($results)) {
          return;
        }
        foreach ($results as $object) {
          yield $object;
        }
        if (count($results) < $opts['query']['limit']) {
          // Passing "page" # to Shopify doesn't always implement pagination.
          return;
        }
        $current_page++;
      }
    }
  }

So you are asking why you are not getting this error with php 5.4? — coder, Aug 10 '16 at 23:15
Generators are added in PHP 5.5. You can't use `yield` in 5.4. — Barmar, Aug 10 '16 at 23:15
Ahh ok, i dont want to risk upgrading to PHP 5.5 right now as its a production server and running lots of sites so dont want to risk any impact. Is there a code fixture to work around for now? — James, Aug 10 '16 at 23:16
So it was getting a different error in 5.3? Either way it can't work. — Barmar, Aug 10 '16 at 23:17
Yea those other errors were from short code arrays hence why upgraded to 5.4... is there no code chnages i can make to fix the error in question without having to push onto 5.5? — James, Aug 10 '16 at 23:19
Return an array and loop in the caller, like you always had to do before generators were added. — Barmar, Aug 10 '16 at 23:19
@James take alook at this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16728384/syntax-error-t-variable-using-php-generators — coder, Aug 10 '16 at 23:20
