Automatic accounts check every 24 hours for membership expiration

I'm having a user control panel (UCP) for my game server.
I offer different memberships (gold/silver/bronze etc) for money.
However, I want to run a PHP script every 24 hours, to run a check over the "users" database and see if 30 days have elapsed. I know how to create the function but I don't know how to make it work automatically. My host is using Windows Server 2008 R2.

Under windows, you can use the task schedular to execute a job periodically. Read this howto for that.
