How to use Crontab in ThinkPHP6

ThinkPHP6 is a widely used PHP framework and is welcomed by many developers. If you want to implement scheduled tasks in ThinkPHP6, then you need to use Crontab. In this article, we will introduce how to use Crontab to complete scheduled tasks in ThinkPHP6.

1. What is Crontab?

Crontab is a scheduled task program in the Linux operating system. It can automatically execute a command or program at a specified time. Crontab is a scheduled task management tool under Linux system, which is very powerful. It can provide a strong scheduled task mechanism for the system and users, support the scheduling and management of tasks, record and view of task execution results, and other functions.

2. How to use Crontab in ThinkPHP6?

First of all, using Crontab in ThinkPHP6 requires installing the Swoole extension. Swoole is a high-performance network communication framework for PHP that can provide PHP with asynchronous, parallel, and efficient programming capabilities similar to Node.js.

1. Install the Swoole extension

Before installing the Swoole extension, you need to install the PHP Composer tool first. After installing Composer, use the following command to install the Swoole extension:

composer require swoole/swoole:4.*

After the installation is complete, you need to add the Swoole extension to the PHP configuration file. Add the following extension to the php.ini file:

extension=swoole.so

After installation, you can use the following command to check whether the installation is successful:

php --ri swoole

2. Define scheduled tasks

To define scheduled tasks in ThinkPHP6, you need to use Swoole's timer function. Swoole provides a timer class: swoole_timer_tick(), which can quickly create a timer. Here is a simple example:

swoole_timer_tick(2000, function () {
    echo "Hello World
";
});

The above code will output "Hello World" every 2 seconds.

In ThinkPHP6, scheduled tasks can be defined in the app/common.php file. The following is a simple example:

// app/common.php

use thinkacadeLog;

if (!function_exists('initCrontabTask')) {
    function initCrontabTask()
    {
        swoole_timer_tick(2000, function () {
            Log::info('Hello World!');
        });
    }
}

In the above example, we defined a scheduled task that outputs "Hello World" every 2 seconds. We use the Log class of ThinkPHP6 to record the execution results of scheduled tasks.

3. Start the scheduled task

In actual use, you can start the scheduled task in different ways. Below, we will introduce two ways to start scheduled tasks.

Method 1: Use swoole_server without coroutine

Using swoole_server without coroutine can quickly start scheduled tasks. You only need to add the method of scheduled tasks when starting swoole_server:

// public/index.php

use SwooleHttpServer;
use thinkApp;
use thinkacadeConfig;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

$app = App::getInstance();
$swooleConfig = Config::get('swoole');
$http = new Server($swooleConfig['http']['host'], $swooleConfig['http']['port']);

$http->on('WorkerStart', function () use ($app) {
    $app->initialize();

    initCrontabTask(); // 启动定时任务
});

$http->on('request', function ($request, $response) use ($app) {
    $app->run()->send();
});

$http->start();

The above code uses swoole_server to start scheduled tasks. When starting swoole_server, just add the scheduled task method in the on('WorkerStart') event callback function.

Method 2: Use daemon process

In some scheduled task scenarios that need to run for a long time, you can use the daemon process to start the scheduled task. The following is a simple example of a daemon process:

// command/crontab.php

use thinkacadeConfig;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

$config = Config::get('swoole');
$http = new SwooleHttpServer($config['host'], $config['port']);

$http->on('WorkerStart', function () {
    initCrontabTask(); // 启动定时任务
});

$http->start();

In the above code, we use Swoole's Http Server to start the scheduled task, and then use the command line to start:

php think crontab start

Use the daemon process The startup method can run scheduled tasks in the background to ensure that the scheduled tasks remain running. At the same time, using daemon processes can also make full use of operating system resources and improve the efficiency of scheduled tasks.

3. Summary

In this article, we introduced how to use Crontab to implement scheduled tasks in ThinkPHP6. We first introduced the concept and function of Crontab, and then started scheduled tasks by introducing the Swoole extension. Finally, we also introduced two different ways to start scheduled tasks.
