Function Reference/antispambot

Converts email addresses characters to HTML entities to block spam bots.

<?php antispambot( $emailaddy, $mailto ) ?>

$emailaddy

(string) (required) Email address.

Default: None

$mailto

(integer) (optional) 0 or 1. Used for encoding.

Default: 0

<?php
echo antispambot("john.doe@mysite.com");
?>

This will output the email like this in the HTML:

&#106;&#111;h&#110;&#46;&#100;&#111;&#101;&#64;mysit&#101;.&#99;&#111;&#109;

And in their browser, people will still see it right:

john.doe@mysite.com
