Note Submitter: arjini at mac dot com ---- If you're looking to provide bare bones protection to email addresses posted to the web try this: <?php $string = 'arjini@mac.com'; for($i=0;$i<strlen($string);++$i){ $n = rand(0,1); if($n) $finished.='&#x'.sprintf("%X",ord($string{$i})).';'; else $finished.='&#'.ord($string{$i}).';'; } echo $finished; ?> This randomly encodes a mix of hex and oridinary HTML entities for every character in the address. Note that a decoding mechanism for this could probably be written just as easily, so eventually the bots will be able to cut through this like butter, but for now, it seems like most harvesters are only looking for non-hex html entities.
