Simple Spam Prevention Script

Simple Spam Prevention Script

This little snippet of code helps protect your e-mail address from spammers and spam-bots.

PHP Example:

PHP code:

0<?php
1$addr1 = "mailto:";
2$addr2 = "you"; // This is the first part of your e-mail address
3$addr3 = "@"; // This is the commat or "at" component of your e-mail adress
4$addr4 = "domain"; // This is the domain name of your e-mail address
5$addr5 = ".com" // This is the extension the domain for your e-mail address e.g. ".com", ".net" etc..
6?>
7<!-- This is your code for the actual link -->
8<a href="<?php echo "$addr1"; echo "$addr2"; echo "$addr3"; echo "$addr4"; echo "$addr5";?>">link text</a>
9<?php

how would that protect your email from harvesters?

your code outputs: <a href="mailto:you@domain.com">link text</a> in plaintext HTML.

which the spam bot can harvest easily.
