Hi. Suppose I have an email [email][email protected][/email].
I encode the email to hex coding by php,

In coding it looks like this.

<a href=”mailto:&#x74;&#x65;&#x73;&#x74;&#x40;&#x74;&#x65;&#x73;&#x74;&#x2e;&#x63;&#x6f;&#x6d;”>test[at]test.com</a>

I need to know is this correct to protect my emails from spammers.
Or I need to encode “test[at]test.com” too?

@cgtOct 29.2010 — I would recommend encoding the test[at]test.com too. However, it is important to note that encoding it like this may not work. It's an old method and some web crawling spambots might have picked up on it. Alternativly you could try using an email form, reCAPTCHA (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/) or a completely different method.
