Check out my repository hosted at GitHub for a suitable script in PHP. Below is an example for Google Apps Script in combination with the mentioned script on GitHub.

function getPageRank() {
  // Generate a log, then email it to the person who ran the script.
  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch("http://cdn.florianbussmann.de/github/pagerank/script.php");
  Logger.log(response.getContentText());
  var recipient = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
  var subject = 'Fetched PageRank';
  var body = Logger.getLog();
  MailApp.sendEmail(recipient, subject, body);
}
