I need an anti-spam-spider measure for my site. Too many addresses are getting raked. In once instance, I created a flash page:
http://erasethis.glquebec.org/English/contact.htm
But I just don't have the time to create a flash image for every single instance, most of which come from dynamically printed PHP pages from a MySQL database.
Could I dynamically create a flash image, input the email and tell the flash image to mailto:the@address.com?
Do anyone have a solution? Does one already exist?
My idea was to create a PHP script and output to a png. But I see many problems, including:
1) How do I avoid echoing the email address in the <a href=""> tag?
2) How would I write a png that would be long and high enough?
3) How would the same script display the png?
In short, I can't see far enough how to do this and avoid spider-raking in the HTML or header the content of the image.
Any advice, code or input would be appreciated,
John

#what do I put here?

#How do I display the image?
$mydata->email = "me@somewhere.com";
echo $??????????;
