Re: Re: Hiding email address from Robots ??

CZ> It all depends on the persons dedication on finding them. I usually just convert them to HTML entities with a function like this: function spamProtect ($address) {

    $address = str_replace("@", "@", $address);
    $address = str_replace(".", ".", $address);
    $address = str_replace(":", ":", $address);
    return $address;

} You can call it with: spamProtect("me@example.com") or spamProtect("mailto:me@example.com") But, like Curt said, those dedicated to harvesting e-mail addresses can add further complexity to their e-mail harvesting programs and catch these rather easily. Ultimately, the best way to keep people from grabbing e-mail addresses is not to display them on your Web site at all. This hurts you if you need a point of contact; however, you could use a form that sends a message to a processing script that then e-mails the message to the intended recipient. The e-mail address would never need to be visible to the browser, and so, the harvesters would never get your address. -- Regards, Ben Ramsey http://benramsey.com http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/People/BenRamsey
