Easy way to show current balance on the website using PHP?

[Mahkul]

I would like to display my current account balance on my website (kind of like: So far X amount of BTC has been donated, where X obviously shows the balance of an address) using PHP, but I want to extract this from a Bitcoin wallet residing on a different machine than the web-server. Is it possible and if so, what's the easiest way to do this? Also, is it possible to show the overall state of my entire wallet using PHP, but again connecting to a remote machine (I know this is not a smart thing to do, but just curious)?


My problem is I have no way of installing Bitcoin application on my hosting account, so I need to extract this info from my own bitcoin application residing on my PC. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

You could use BBE's getreceivedbyaddress: http://blockexplorer.com/q/getreceivedbyaddress/$address

1)SSH tunnel from your hosting account, run the bitcoin balance command, parse and display.

2)Another way would be to set up a simple http server that supports cgi on the home computer and write a simple script to pull data from the client and display it.

3)Simple script that gets information from bitcoin client and then uploads a text file to your hosting server with the updated information.

You could press 'Watch' at the bottom to save it to your watchlist which is available in the top left of the website (just under your username)
