Email scrambler

[jjmf]

It would be nice if PRADO suply an email scrambler so that spammers could not get emails from source code of PRADO generated pages. Something similar to the smarty {mailto} plugin.

If this seems to be a bad idead, can someone tell me how can I accomplish this with Prado?

Write a component

If you would explain me the process I could write the component for you.

Basically, you base64 encode the email address, but put a javascript tag around it to decode, so it looks ok in the browser and even makes a valid mailto link, but in the source it is scrambled.

Here's a test

a very simple way

Code:

class MyEmailFormatter extends TWebControl
{
public function renderContents($writer)
{
$textWriter=new TTextWriter;
parent::renderContents(new THtmlWriter($textWriter));
$email = strtoupper($textWriter->flush());
$content = str_replace(array('.','@'), array(' dot ', ' at '), $email);
$writer->write($content);
}
}

Usage:

Code:

<com:MyEmailFormatter>someone@gmail.com</com:MyEmailFormatter>

Should output "SOMEONE at GMAIL dot COM", of course it may be possible for email harvesters to pick it up.
