How to add permalink to widget in Wordpress?

I'm trying to add Outbrain widget to my Wordpress blog and the code is:

<div class="OUTBRAIN" data-src="DROP_PERMALINK_HERE" data-widget-id="XX_1" data-ob-template=“NameGoesHere”></div> 
<script type="text/javascript" async="async" src="http://widgets.outbrain.com/outbrain.js"></script>

The problem is if I add this into the single.php, I can easily do it using <?php the_permalink(); ?> in place of DROP_PERMALINK_HERE. But I want to add the widget as a Wordpress widget and the text widget in Wordpress allows only HTML and PHP won't run there. So what do I do?

Get the URL of the page through Javascript? Or is there a better way?

Kindly guide.

This is absolutely very easy to do.

All you need is a Header and Footer plugin. With this, you can add the Outbrain code (Widget) to your blog easily. - Just paste the code in the post-tab of the header and footer.

If you would like to run PHP code in wordpress text widget then you have to paste below code in you active theme's functins.php file.

function php_execute_widget($html){
   if(strpos($html,"<"."?php")!==false){ 
      ob_start(); eval("?".">".$html);
      $html=ob_get_contents();
      ob_end_clean();
    }
  return $html;
 }
 add_filter('widget_text','php_execute_widget',100);
