[SOLVED] email code, where email is hidden

[DeanWhitehouse]

this is a code i found in a template system

<span style="float: right; text-align: right;"><a target="_blank" rel="external" href='javascript:window.location="mai"+"lto:"+"admin"+"@"+"randomgamedesign.uk.tt";self.close();' onmouseover='window.status="mai"+"lto:"+"admin"+"@"+"randomgamedesign.uk.tt"; return true;' onmouseout='window.status="";return true;'>Email </a></span>

 

how can i use this code or something similar so you can only email them, and not see there email when you mouseover?

That is javascript you have there.  If you don't want them to see your email use a PHP mailing script.

 

Here is a tutorial of what I am thinking you are trying to achieve:

Please reply if I misunderstood what you wanted to achieve.

here's an idea, it might actually be less safe, but:

<a href='?mail=joe'>Mail</a>

then

if(isset($_GET['mail']))
{
//Do checks!!!

... er i've come unstuck here!
this should invoke the email...

}

near the same thing but this is for a user profile, it is so they don't recieve spam mail, but i can't see how to change

href='javascript:window.location="mai"+"lto:"+"admin"+"@"+"randomgamedesign.uk.tt";self.close();

so it is an email from my database.

[rarebit]

When you generate this line, just use fields from db...

list($start, $end) = split('[@]', $ret['email']);
echo "href='javascript:window.location=\"mai\"+\"lto:\"+\"$start\"+\"@\"+\"$end\";self.close();";

I think I understand now.

Use explode function on there email address.

 

<?php
$email = "admin@randomgamedesign.uk.tt";
$email = explode($email, '@');
?>
<span style="float: right; text-align: right;"><a target="_blank" rel="external" href='javascript:window.location="mai"+"lto:"+"<?php echo $email[0]; ?>"+"@"+"<?php echo $email[1]; ?>";self.close();' ;return true;'>Email </a></span>

Does that make sense?

[DeanWhitehouse]

yer, i think  i understand, i can replace this

$email = "admin@randomgamedesign.uk.tt";

 

with

$email = "something_from_mydatabase_using_a_query";

yer, i think  i understand, i can replace this

$email = "admin@randomgamedesign.uk.tt";

 

with

$email = "something_from_mydatabase_using_a_query";

Yeah, as long as the something from your database is a valid email.

i tried this way , and it didn't work

<?php
$email = "admin@randomgamedesign.uk.tt";
$email = explode($email, '@');
?>
<span style="float: right; text-align: right;"><a target="_blank" rel="external" href='javascript:window.location="mai"+"lto:"+"<?php echo $email[0]; ?>"+"@"+"<?php echo $email[1]; ?>";self.close();' ;return true;'>Email </a></span>

 

so i think i will have to try this way, and have two input boxes one for

"email" and another for "hotmail.com".

Unless anyone knows a better way to reduce spam.

Try explode('@',$email);

Sorry, I made a mistake in the function syntax.
