[SLUG] QD HTML server address

2012-03-22 Thread Edwin Humphries

G'day all,

I'm not a programmer (I'm barely a Linux user) but I have a web server 
that I need to make a quick and dirty change to.


It's a web-server to manage Internet Access for selected itinerant 
users, and this part of it works fine. However, I'd like to provide a 
link from the web interface to webmin running on the same server. Of 
course, webmin uses HTTPS, not HTTP, and port 1000, and I could just 
hard code the IP address into the HTML, but the IP address of the 
network interface being used for this purpose (eth0) is going to change 
from location to location, and I'd rather not have to make ad hoc 
changes to the code on installation..


Is there a simple was that I can do this? (Apache runs custom code 
written in PHP, but not by me)


Regards,
Edwin Humphries

A href=https://?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']?/admin:1000admin 
page/a

might work
you may want to try HTTP_HOST perhaps
see http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php for more info
