I know EE has the built in “encode” for masking email addresses but I’m one of those people who really like things to work whether or not the user has Javascript enabled. My goal was to make port an email obfuscator that worked even with Javascript disabled.
I just started using EE for most sites. Before, I used to have a config.php file that had all my handy functions in it – one of which was obfuscateEmail(); which ran a bit of PHP (see http://www.zapyon.de/ for the basis of what is happening in this plugin) to encode the email address in decimal or hexadecimal mode. May not be the most robust email masking, but it has worked for me on numerous sites, and I’ve never had a client say they were getting too much spam. I wanted this to work in my EE sites, so I wrote my first plugin! (cue sound of 1 hand clapping…)
