Facebook uses this to display contact email addresses for people, and I've seen it used elsewhere also. The only other method I've seen is to add in extra characters with a small note to humans to remove them, but I find this quite a messy solution. Unfortunately, you can't get away with just a contact form these days if you're a business, as it's a legal requirement in some countries to have a contact details available, and not just a contact form. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk Another is a CSS solution where you type the email address backwards and then use the CSS style declaration: style="direction: rtl; unicode-bidi: bidi-override;" Marc Hall HallMarc Websites __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5194 (20100614) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
