Hi everyone, I am looking for a way to encrypt & decrypt an email addy to prevent spam while posting a message to discussion board.
I tried to split email address; 1- ($id,$host) = split(/\@/, "$email"); so, split it into $id and $host and later retrieve it by joining both. But still its visible, and visitors can guess it seeing the source code or while it posted to script. 2- Writing it to a pipe delimited text or db file with time of posting and email and later retriving it by passing the $time to script and matching corresponding email is the second option. $email|$time Don't want to use this option, because the db file can get quite big, since its a high traffic site and one message is posted approx every minute. What I am looking for a way to compelety change the email addy layout by replacing it with unguessable alphabets and numbers or either of those and vice versa. eg. $email = [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; using some search and replace/translate function ? $email = "blah..3b92a98ualwetwe334...blah"; and then translating it back to email when needed. Thanks for any input. Sara.
