Laravel Scheduler – Cron Tutorial
Task scheduling is an important part of many web applications.
Here are several examples:
- Check if new emails are received in a specified email accounts inbox, read them and take actions based on the information ( in every minute)
- Perform batch jobs – etc dispatch order status change emails in an ecommerce system. (once a hour )
- Clear logs ( once a day )
Laravel makes it super easy and intuitive to use linux CRON scheduler to perform automated tasks for your web application.
Usually web applications achieve task scheduling by creating several cron jobs in Linux that execute the required controller methods in the web application. Downside of this approach is that you need to create one cron job for each task. So if there are 10 tasks , you have to create 10 cron jobs in Linux making it hard to manage.
Laravel adds a layer of programmable logic between the operating system and your web application that you can program your tasks with specified time interval to run them and use a single CRON job .
So once you create general cron job that invokes the laravel scheduler, you are free to programmatically add any number of tasks to run on various time intervals. There are many commonly used time intervals which can be accessed via easy to remember method names such as ->everyMinute(); which obviously runs a given task every minute.

PHP7 Vulnerability that allows hackers to hijack web servers
The PHP programming language that powers most of the Internet based appications. It is used in the popular content management systems like WordPress, Joomla and Drupal, so it’s a big issue whenever someone identify a security vulnerability within it.
A few days a ago, Emil ‘Neex’ Lerner, a Russian security expert, published a remote-code execution vulnerability in PHP version 7.
With this vulnerability, an attacker could force a remote web server to execute their own random code just by entering a crafted URL. The attacker only needs to add “?a=” to the website address, followed by their code payload.
This attack makes it very easy to start hacking a website, so that even a non-technical user could abuse it.
Fortunately, the vulnerability only affects servers using the NGINX web server with the PHP-FPM extension. PHP-FPM is a modded version of FastCGI, with a several additional features intended for websites with high traffic.
Due to the availability of public sample ( POC) code and the extreme simplicity of exploiting this bug, website owners are advised to check server settings and update PHP as soon as possible if they run the vulnerable configuration.

What is the Difference Between Vision and Mission Statements of a Business
The vision statement focuses on the future and what the organization wants to become. The mission statement focuses on the present and what the organization does. While organizations generally use mission and vision statements conversely, it’s essential to have both of them. Just one doesn’t work without the other, because having a purpose and meaning are crucial for any business to succeed.
The Mission Statement
Your mission statement drives the company. It is what you do at the core of the business, and it defines the objectives and finally, it also defines the means to reach those objectives. It also shapes your company’s culture and gives it a personality.
A mission statement may answer questions like:
- What do we do?
- Whom do we serve?
- How do we serve them?
The vision statement?
Your vision statement provides the company direction. It is the future of the business, which then provides the purpose for the business
The vision statement is your aspirations, what you want to become to be successful.
A vision statement may look like:
- What are our hopes and dreams?
What problem are we solving for the greater good ?
Who and what are we aspiring to change?
