* email encryption in wordpress
Posted on October 18th, 2006 by Alex. Filed under Projects.
I always get annoyed by spam mails, which fill up my mail box. To prevent the spam bots to crawl through all sides and to collect valuable (in the sense of working) addresses, all kind of counteractive measures can be taken. Recently I integrated one of them in WordPress. It is quite simple, but it needs JavaScript to be enabled. If JavaScript is not activated, it provides a fall back alternative, which is currently not comfortable. How does it work? It takes every character of an email address, converts it to the appropriate ASCII number, adds 3 and converts it back. The result is an email address, which does not consist of the usual format. Check out the example, where I called the function and as given parameter a correct formatted email address:
The plugin also supports another name to be displayed or a predefined subject. If something does not work, please let me know.
