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.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

中文文档

PHP 8.2+ task scheduler with a fluent API and full lifecycle management.

Features

Cron expressions — standard 5-field or 6-field (with seconds); supports */n, ranges, lists, weekday/month names, @daily aliases
Fluent API — second(3), minute(5), hour(2), dailyAt('8:30'), weeklyOn('monday')
Constraints — time range between(), environment environments(), condition when()/skip()
Lifecycle hooks — before(), after(), onSuccess(), onFailure()
Overlap prevention — withoutOverlapping() via file-based mutex
Timezone support — global per-daemon and per-task
Three task types — Closure, shell command, Class@method
Daemon mode — continuous loop with second precision, auto-fork to background

Requirements

Extension	Purpose	Required
`ext-pcntl`	Process control: `pcntl_fork()` (background daemon), signal handling	Optional — needed for daemon background mode
`ext-posix`	POSIX: `posix_setsid()` (new session), `posix_kill()` (stop daemon)	Optional — needed for daemon start/stop
`ext-json`	Task info serialization (`.tasks.json` PID file)	Optional — bundled with PHP by default
`ext-opcache`	`opcache_reset()` (periodic reset in long-running process)	Optional — works fine without

ext-pcntl and ext-posix are CLI-only and unavailable in Web SAPI. If ext-posix is missing, stop falls back to exec("kill ...").

Installation

Quick Start

Timezone

Two levels:

Global timezone — second argument of Scheduler::run(). Affects started_at in status output, all date() calls, and every task's scheduling
Per-task timezone — ->timezone(). Overrides scheduling timezone for that task only; does NOT affect date()
