How to run php script after 5 minutes?

Question

PHP

Basically, I want to do something like this. Let's say the user has just registered and I need to send him an email, but not immediately, but after 5 minutes. Any ideas how this can be implemented? I would like the best possible solution, thanks!

Answer 1

When registering, set the status, conditionally, to 1. Using the script that is specified in cron, bypass all statuses from 1, send mail and set status 2.

Answer 2

You can create a task and put it in a queue with a delay of 5 minutes.

Answer 3

Only it is better not to cron, but to write a demon.
All the same, infrastructure as code, not cron-job. sitting on the side.
In general, it is better to use queues for this
