Download the PHP package meklis/cron without Composer

On this page you can find all versions of the php package meklis/cron. It is possible to download/install these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved automatically.

FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package cron

Cron

Packagist Build Status Quality Coverage SensioLabs Insight Packagist

This library enables you to have only one general crontab entry that will trigger several different cronjobs that can be defined through this library. The Cron library will decide if the job needs to run or not.

Attention: make sure you set the server crontab job to a correctly chosen frequency because if there is for example a cronjob defined in code to run every minute, your general crontab job needs to run at least every minute as well to work properly.

Use Case

Say you need two cronjobs in your application. One that will write the contents of a folder to a log file, and one that will empty the folder. This library enables you to create separate scripts (for example: cron.php) where you notify the Cron library of the two cronjobs. After defining the Jobs with their specifics, they can be added to the resolver and the run command can be given.

Your server crontab could now look something like:

The code example below is matched to this use case.

Code example

Cron currently only support triggering shell commands. This means you can trigger anything although it is highly encouraged not to call web urls. But if you really need to here are some example commands.

Installation

Add the following to your project's composer.json:

Crontab syntax

A CRON expression is a string representing the schedule for a particular command to execute. The parts of a CRON schedule are as follows:

*    *    *    *    *    *
-    -    -    -    -    -
|    |    |    |    |    |
|    |    |    |    |    + year [optional]
|    |    |    |    +----- day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7)
|    |    |    +---------- month (1 - 12)
|    |    +--------------- day of month (1 - 31)
|    +-------------------- hour (0 - 23)
+------------------------- min (0 - 59)

Each of the parts supports wildcards (*), ranges (2-5) and lists (2,5,6,11).
