How to make PHP perform tasks regularly (with code)
This article mainly introduces how to make PHP perform tasks regularly. It has certain reference value. Interested friends can take a look. I hope it will be helpful to you!
If you use PHP to perform certain tasks regularly, you can have the following two methods:
1. crontab under linux, scheduled tasks under windows
2. Use PHP related functions
<span style="font-size: 14px;">set_time_limit(0);<br>ignore_user_abort(true);<br>//这里写一个死循环<br></span>
The first method is the most common. If you don’t have permission to crontab on the PHP server, you can also find a machine of your own to regularly crontab to request the server
The second method is less reliable. Just restart Apache. Have to revisit, fastcgi would be better.
Example: Create index.php and test.txt. The function is to overwrite and write a number to test.txt every second, and the number will increase. The index.php code is as follows:
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><?php<br>ignore_user_abort(true);<br>$num=0;<br>set_time_limit(0);<br>//ini_set('max_execution_time',0); 用这句也行,效果和set_time_limit(0)一样<br>do{<br> file_put_contents('./test.txt',$num);<br> $num++;<br> sleep(1);<br>}while(true);<br></span>
After closing the browser, I found that the script can still be executed, and the number is still increasing.
The reason is that these two key functions are at work:
ignore_user_abort(true) regardless of whether the client closes the browser, the following code will be executed.
set_time_limit(0) Cancel the execution time of the php file. If there is no this function, the default php execution time is 30 seconds, which means that after 30 seconds, this file will say goodbay.
If you do not use these two functions, you need to modify php.ini, find the max_execution_time configuration item, change 30 to 0, and set it to 0 to never expire. Just restart the server.

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,
