Hide Email Address on web site

Asked by itcdr in PHP Scripting Language

Tags: hide, email, address, php

With my last website I had a serious spam problem. This time I want to make sure that spammers can't just run automated programs to scan my site for my email address. If that's even how they got it.

I still want users to be able to click on my email address on the contact page and email me. Here is my idea.

1) Use an image to show the email address
2) link to a php page that redirects

 example: <a href="/email_redir.php"><img src="/images/email.gif"></a>

/email_redir.php
--------------
<? header("location: mailto:myemail@mydomain.com"); ?>
