In PHP, you can use the following methods to execute scheduled tasks:

  1. get some rest
while (true) {
    // 执行任务的代码
    sleep(60); // 间隔60秒执行一次任务
}
  1. Utilize a Cron Job on Linux to schedule tasks at specific times, such as executing a task every early morning.
# 编辑Cron Job配置文件
crontab -e

Then add the following content to the file:

0 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/your/script.php

The above configuration means that the script located at /path/to/your/script.php will be executed daily at 12:00 AM.

  1. Utilize third-party cron job management tools, such as crontab.guru, EasyCron, etc. These tools allow users to easily set the execution time and frequency of cron jobs through a web interface, and offer additional convenient features.

Here are several common ways to implement scheduled tasks. Choose the appropriate method based on specific requirements.
