Basic Question On E-mail Forms

[Guest steveoregon]

Tonight I downloaded and tried CuteSite Builder. I uploaded an e-mail form, which is certainly easier than using Front Page.

 

One question though about e-mail forms in general.

 

I was hoping that with an e-mail form, people could e-mail without anyone knowing where the e-mail was going to - thus keeping anyone from harvesting the address and using for spam. However, I opened the webpage with Frontpage to look at the html code, and the e-mail address (behind the form) is visible.

 

I don't suppose there is anyway around this - to hide the real e-mail address when using a form - even from someone who would want to look at the code?

Hi Steve,

 

Have a look at The ultimate PHP form mail script.

 

There are a number of ways you can keep the email address from most of the harvesters using PHP.

 

Another alternative is to set up a dedicated email address for you form responses, and then remove as spam anything that does not have the header you have provided from the form.
