Re: PHP Code I Must find

Seen that in the manual. I'll need a routine of some sort I guess. I'll get my cookie cutters out tomorrow and see what I can create. I make cool gingerbread men, for a dude. **htmlentities() does most of what I want, sort of. **lists-php wrote:

that's not UTF, rather just the html representation of the ascii codes for the characters. [someone else has already pointed you to an ascii table.] when put in the context of the "mailto:" it's actually fairly easy for a bot to identify and decode (i'm not saying that they do, but it's not hard). if you're going to use this approach you may want to make the e-mail addresses user-readable, but unlinked. while still easily decoded, most bots won't waste time trying to decode every string like that that they encounter (at least not yet). - Rick ------------ Original Message ------------

Is there there a php function I can use to generate this? Or was this hand-done? It is crackable, but a darned good stab at the problem of spiders at the same.

You could do something like this (knowing the strings are pure ascii) function ascToEnt($string) {

    $char = '';
    $strLength = strlen($string);
    for ($x = 0; $x < $strLength; $x++) {
        $char .= '&#' . ord($string{$x}) . ';';
    }
    return $char;

} echo ascToEnt('test@test.tld');
