Email Address Obfuscator PHP to Javascript

Version: .9r

Type: Function

Category: HTML

Description: This little function creates a chunk of javascript based on Tim Williams’ Email Obsfucator Version 2.1

It will do a pretty good job of hiding an e-mail address on a webpage on-the-fly.

<?php
/* This php function writes out Tim William's javascript for munging an email address
to make it hard for spammer harvestors to read it.
The original javascript is at http://www.u.arizona.edu/~trw/spam/
Feeling paranoid, I modified the version at phpbuilder.com to randomize the cipher

$cipherorig = "aZbcYXdeWVfUTghSiRQjklPmONnMoLpqKJrIHstGuFvEwDxCyBz1A234568790" ;
$cipher = str_shuffle($cipherorig);
$cipherlength = strlen($cipher) ;
$addresslength = strlen($address) ;
$shift = $addresslength ;
