Re: Search Engines and email addreses

OK, I'm finding some stuff out. The key here is address-collecting spiders and their use by spammers. *ugh* Now I see what my friend was asking. Here's a link with info and some other links (to other links....I'm sure :-) http://sbinformation.about.com/smallbusiness/sbinformation/library/tips/bltip48.htm *sleep(clickity_click)* Well, here's the scoop: The email encoder http://www.emailaddresses.com/mailto_encoder.htm Just entered an email addy to get encoded (A free service). Here's my addy encoded: <A HREF=" mailto:&#109;&#100;&#101;&#97;&#114;ma&#110;&#64;&#105;n&#102;i&#99;ad.c&#111;m&#109;&#100;&#101;&#97;&#114;ma&#110;&#64;&#105;n&#102;i&#99;ad.c&#111;m"</A> Although my linewrap might of screwed that up. Ugly, ain't it? But wondering (read their explanation of what's happening) how, code wise, they're 'encoding' the email address. Maybe this is obvious to someone. Can something similar be done with PHP code? Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike D.
