try curl
http://www.php.net/manual/en/curl.examples-basic.php

$ch = curl_init("http://www.example.com/");
$fp = fopen("example_homepage.txt", "w");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);

I made the same thing for a game site, where I would have to constantly log in to use my turns. So instead of that I used curl to sign in, get authorization token and using it, send another request with curl to do certain actions. Then I ran that script with the windows task scheduler.
I have the code somewhere, I’ll look into it when I get home if you still need help with this.
