Does anyone know of a widget to display the host ip on a website?

Asked by Lost_World (1231points) January 20th, 2011

This is a bit of an odd question, but one of you might know.

I am running a little game server for a few friends, with no static ip. Does anyone know of some sort of widget that I can stick on my website to display the currant public ip of the server so they can connect?

It might also be cool if there were some way to make the ip post to twitter.

You will need to use a server side language. Does your server support PHP? you could do it with that. It should only be a couple of lines of code to do it.

EDIT:

You may want to take a look at these links…

With php

<?php
echo $_SERVER[‘SERVER_ADDR’];
?>

Outputs http://stfudamnit.com/server.php
