Understanding the yearly Command in PHP 5.6 and Laravel

When it comes to scheduling tasks in PHP, particularly for those working with Laravel, understanding how various commands function is essential. A common point of confusion arises with the yearlyOn() command, which many developers have questions about, especially when using earlier versions of PHP and Laravel. Today, we’ll clarify how the yearly command operates in PHP 5.6 and discuss the limitations surrounding yearlyOn().

The Yearly Task Execution

What Does yearly Do?

In Laravel's task scheduling system, the yearly() command is designed to execute scheduled tasks once a year. Specifically, this command runs the task on the first day of every year at midnight. This is a straightforward way to automate yearly events or actions without manual intervention.

When does it run?: January 1st, at 00:00 AM.

Context in PHP: This implementation is straightforward and is supported in earlier versions of Laravel running on PHP 5.6.

The Question About yearlyOn()

Many developers also inquire about the yearlyOn() function, particularly whether it can be used in PHP 5.6. Here’s the key point:

yearlyOn() Availability: This function is not available in Laravel 5.6; it was introduced in Laravel 8.0 and above. Consequently, if you're using PHP 5.6 with Laravel 5.6, you will not have access to this functionality.

Specifics of yearlyOn()

The yearlyOn() function allows developers to specify not just the month, but also the day to execute a task yearly. For example, yearlyOn(1, 1) would run at the same time as yearly(), but you could set it to a different date if needed.

Conclusion

To summarize, if you're working with PHP 5.6 and Laravel 5.6, you're limited to using the yearly() command which will reliably trigger your tasks on January 1st of every year, at midnight. The yearlyOn() function is an advanced feature available only in higher versions of Laravel, and thus, cannot be utilized in your current setup.

By understanding these scheduling commands and their limitations, you can better manage your automated tasks and ensure they are executed precisely when needed. If you're planning an upgrade, consider moving to a more recent version of Laravel to take full advantage of the enhanced scheduling options available.

Happy coding!
