[SOLVED] Best way to protect an email in hidden input?

[xoligy]

What would be the best way to protect and email address on a hidden object?

 

<input type="hidden" name="business" value="<?=$adminpaypal?>">

If your using mail(), it will be hidden. I hope it helps...

mail("youremail@domain.com", $subject, $body, $from);

Not really its for purchasing something from the site

encode it

 

example

 

<?php
function Encode($str){
   $cypher1 = md5(15686895356);
   $cypher2 = sha1(15683215661);
   $str        = bin2hex($str);
return $cypher2.$str.$cypher1;
}
?>
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="<?php echo(Encode($adminpaypal)); ?>" />

Once the form is submitted

<?php
function Decode($hash){
   $cypher1 = md5(15686895356);
   $str = substr($hash,0,strpos($hash,$cypher1));
   $hash = pack("H*",$str);
return $hash;
}
$_POST['business'] = Decode($_POST['business']);

Or something similar
