Update…<\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, LogMeIn figured out they forgot about that page, I guess when people started reading this post and hitting it on their servers. They have removed the text status as well as all the others, and I can’t figure out why they would do such a thing.<\/p>\n

I’m also not sure what they’re offering as an alternative either. So if you know, please leave a comment below. Thanks.<\/p>\n

Depreciated Process…<\/h2>\n

A while back, I started a project called tsn.lcl or tsnlocal<\/a>, but gave up on it when my electricity bill hit $400 in a month.<\/p>\n

Today, I decided to fix up the domain name and get it back on the internet – at least to remove it from GoDaddy’s Parking Page – where they’re making money, not me, off of it.<\/p>\n

When I got it published<\/a> I noticed that none of the Hamachi Web Status images worked anymore, and that the link to such an image<\/a>, redirected to their login page for your Hamachi Management Dashboard. However, upon further investigation, I found that there was not only an Image version of those status instances, but also a text version<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I really wanted to show the online status of all my machines again, so I wrote my own php script to parse that text data, and created some simple images to show on the website based on the returned status.<\/p>\n

So here’s the code so you can do the same thing…<\/p>\n

The PHP Function<\/h2>\n

[cc lang=”php”]<?php
\nfunction hamachiImg($ip) {
\n$url = “https:\/\/my.hamachi.cc\/status\/text.php?$ip”;
\n$status = file_get_contents($url);
\n$status = preg_replace(‘\/\\d*\\.\\d*\\.\\d*.\\d* \/’, ”, $status);
\n$image_url = “.\/images\/$status.png”;
\nreturn $image_url;
\n}
\n?>[\/cc]
\nThis code creates a $url variable with the address to the text status, based on the $ip that is passed to it. Then it requests the data, removes the ip address and the trailing space, leaving only the status text. On the server, I have a collection of images with the 4 different statuses as their file name, and with that an $image_url is created to be returned.<\/p>\n

The 4 possible statuses are:<\/p>\n
