title: PHP simple parser to run only once a day
body: <p>I am using the simple_html_dom script to parse a value from a website.</p>
  
  <p>My code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  include('simpleparser/simple_html_dom.php');
  
  $html = file_get_html('http://www.example.com');
  
  foreach($html-&gt;find('strong') as $e)  // the tag that I am fetching
  echo $e-&gt;innertext ;
  
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, I'd like to run this only once per day as the data, I am parsing updates only once every day.</p>
  
  <p>I've read a couple of articles about the cron task, but can not get it to work. The examples seem to overcomplicate things and are not relevant to my case.
  My hosting plan has the cron scheduler disabled and no shell access and I don't know how else to set it up.</p>
