What are the potential alternatives to using a CronJob for executing PHP scripts at specific intervals?
Using a CronJob for executing PHP scripts at specific intervals can be a hassle to set up and manage. An alternative approach is to use a task scheduling library like Laravel's Task Scheduling feature, which allows you to define scheduled tasks within your PHP application itself.
// Example of using Laravel's Task Scheduling feature to execute a PHP script at specific intervals
$schedule->call(function () {
// Your PHP script logic here
})->daily();
