From: "Jack" on 9 Sep 2010 09:52 Hello All, I have some code which converts to some html to ascii characters. This basically obfuscates the html code, but shows it correctly on an page. I am trying to show the results of the obfuscation ( works correctly because it displays the html value ), but I want to then show the obfuscated html code so they can copy it. An example is I want to show them this below: <a href="mailto:your 0;email.addre� 0115;s?subject=&cc=&bcc=&body=" style="" class="" id="">your@email� 46;address</a> Which was created by the code, but I apparently can't seem to echo it and get it to display like above.. It converts it to html no matter what I do. Thanks! Jack

Have you tried the <pre> HTML tag? (http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_pre.asp) Putting inside a <textarea> might also work for you... -- Marc Guay MobilizeMe mobilizeme.com

It converts it to html no matter what I do.. This should do it: <?php $var = '<a href="mailto:your@email.address?subject=&cc=&bcc=&body=" style="" class="" id="">your@email.address</a>'; echo htmlspecialchars($var); ?> The obfuscation doesn't buy you much, though. <?php var_dump(html_entity_decode($var, ENT_QUOTES, 'utf-8')); ?> string(106) "<a href="mailto:your(a)email.address?subject=&cc=&bcc=&body=" style="" class="" id="">your(a)email.address</a>" The only people for whom the value will be obscure will be the humans who actually try to read the HTML source code itself. Neither web browsers nor harvesting scripts won't have any trouble reading it. Andrew

-----Original Message----- From: Andrew Ballard [mailto:aballard(a)gmail.com] The only people for whom the value will be obscure will be the humans who actually try to read the HTML source code itself. Neither web browsers nor harvesting scripts won't have any trouble reading it. Andrew Andrew, One other note, if the link doesn't say mailto: a harvester will have to decode the entire page in order to find the mailto, do you think thatâs happening. This could be one of those things where you help against a percentage of harvesters, and not others. J |
