[PHP] Hiding email address from Robots ??

2004-04-08 Thread news
Looking for opinions before I start using this to hide the email address on
a page

$nx = username;
$sx = domain;
$mx = [EMAIL PROTECTED];

Then mailto:? echo $mx ?

Hopefully a Robot would read the address as the result of $mx, which is
totally useless - but it seems too easy.

Perhaps I'm missing something (and if I am, please let me know), but how 
would [EMAIL PROTECTED] be totally useless to email harvesting robots?  If 
$nx was 'user' and $sx was 'example.com'.  The mailto would be displayed 
as 'mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' which any mail robot will clearly be able 
to use.  Any robots will not read the page until all PHP code has run 
and returned the page as complete html.
