run cron on xampp

I know how to run a php script via cron of a cpanel of a live website, but I also want to learn ho开发者_如何学JAVAw to do this cron thing via xampp on my localhost ?, anyone who can actually tell me the exact steps how to do it ?..my OS is win 7

There is no cron in xampp. Apache is a webserver. Scripts are called only uppon a reuest by some browser.

So if you like to call a PHP script via web at a special time, you will need a browser accessing this website at that time.
