replaces mailto tags and automates javascript production for email addresses to protect against spam. You pass variables including the recipient name, the anchored text, and option subject, css class, and tag title information to the object and it spits out something the spam bots cannot handle. Makes for cleaner front end code.

<?php
// class EmailCode
// Version 1.01, Oct 15, 2003
// Generates JavaScript based email tags which are
// spam bot proof by passing simple variables to the class in an array
// which then returns a Javascript package to the HTML.
// by Phil Ingram, phil at flyingchair dot net
// Please let me know if you use it or you have any problems.
// this class generates email code using javascript to avoid spamming.
// It could probably be written better by someone who has being doing
// PHP longer than me but it works and has been tested with every
// permutation I can think of.
// You provide:
// The email address to send to
// The text between the anchors
// An optional subject field
// An optional body field
// An optional link title
// An optional CSS class name
// To call this code:
// 1. include path to this file
// include ("path/EmailCode.php")
//
// 2. Then create new instance:
// $variable = new EmailCode (array(
// 'email_address' => 'you@somewhere.com',
// 'email_text' => 'The text between the <A> tags',
// 'email_subject' => 'The optional subject',
// 'email_body' => 'The optional pre-inserted body copy',
// 'email_title' => 'for mouseover',
// 'email_class' => 'name of CSS class'
// ));
//
// Email_address and email_text are mandatory as they are the recipient and the text that appears between the anchor tags.
// The rest are optional and can be deleted or inserted in any order. Whatever, make sure they are followed by commas except
// for the last one else you will get an error. The email_address is checked for syntax (x@y.z).
//
// 3. At the exact place you wish to place the link (where you would begin the <a> tag)
// echo $variable->GetEmailCode ();
//
// Remember to wrap the tags in PHP tags if you are dipping between HTML and PHP.
class EmailCode

var $error = false; //true if missing vital information
var $error_code = "ERROR: "; //errors are appended to this string
var $email_address = ""; //the email address you are sending to

Join this webcast to see how IBM Data Studio Developer and pureQuery can take the pain out of Java data access. uApplications developed using both Java and SQL have become a common requirement. Database connectivity using Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) to create an application is a multi-step tedious process, and tooling that covers both SQL and Java has been unavailable, until now. IBM Data Studio introduces the pureQuery platform: a high-performance, Java data access platform focused on simplifying the tasks of developing, managing, and optimizing database applications and services.
