Looking for script that hides email and or phone numbers in forum posts

[bnovak]

Pretty much the subject says it all. I'd like something that will either black out, XXX out, hide entirely or whatever else you can think of to cover up when a user puts an email address and/or phone number in a forum post.

 

I can setup the function to call a JS based on the user being logged in or not, I just need the script to actually do it.

 

Any ideas?  (i've seen it done on a couple sites but have no idea how it works.)

Would be pretty useless doing this in Javascript as its client-side and could be easily worked around.

I agree - but my end users are not exactly a "web savvy" bunch of code junkies so I'm not overly concerned about it.

 

You understand what i'm trying to do though - got any other opinions for an option? The pages are PHP, so If there is some PHP code I could put in that would work also....

Well, using php you could create a regex that searches for string that look like emails or phone numbers and then obfuscate them.
