NYCPHP Meetup

[soazine@pop.erols.com]

I am not sure of a good client-side solution to masking emails; what I had
to do for my site (http://valsignalandet.com) is to build an entire
server-side feedback solution; something becoming popular now with many
sites.  That way my email address is neither listed nor generated; it only
exists within server-side code.

Perhaps a bit heavy-handed but it has significantly cut down on spam that
way.

I think I trimmed too much.  I was referring to the following:

> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
> <!-- Begin
> user = "webmaster";
> site = "nyphp.edu";
> 
> document.write('<a href=\\"mailto:' + user + '@' + site + '\\">');
> document.write(user + '@' + site + '</a>');
> // End -->
> </SCRIPT>
> 
> 
> 2) ASCII Code Replacement
> You can replace the "@" sign in your mailto links with the ASCII code
> equivalent "@".

> This will produce a link that says webmaster at nyphp.edu.

Sorry 'bout that.
