Not sure if this has been covered
can you do an anti spam bot with vaibles in PHP like this
and then this:PHP Code:<?PHP
$send = contact;
$domain = raneman;
$ext = com;
?>
I know the mail function works like this but does it fool spam bots?PHP Code:mailto:<?=$send?>@<?=$domain?>.<?=$ext?>

Nope. Spam-bots do not see your PHP code. Rather, they see the resulting, rendered HTML.
A workaround using code similar to what you have shown would be to implement the spam-bot blocker in client-side JavaScript. For example:There are better methods of hiding emails from spam-bots. I’ll leave that to someone else to explain though, I’m off to bed.Code:<script language="javascript"> function ShowEmail ( name, domain, extension, link ) { document.write ( '<a href="mailto:' + name + '@' + domain + '.' + extension + '">' + link + '</a>' ); } </script> . . . <body> <script language="javascript">ShowEmail ( 'brown', 'clan-elite', 'org', 'Contact' );</script> </body>
Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
you could try something like this:
PHP Code:<?php
if (isset($_GET['email']))
{
$email = str_replace(':', '@', $_GET['email']);
header("Location: mailto:$email");
exit();
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Anti Spam</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Anti Spam - Email Protection</h1>
<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?email=soonerdm:mysite.com">Mail me !</a>
<br />
</body>
</html>

Is there a way I can prevent the blank page when I get directed to mailto:blablabla in explorer, without using target=_blank or javascript?

Alexa.com uses an interesting way to fool email grabber:
