[RESOLVED] encode email in PHP, unencode in javascript

[jaredh123]

arggh.. this should be simple, but i'm having trouble...

what i want do is take an email address and use PHP to create some sort of encoded string which would be printed to the browser and unencoded by javascript. like so

<?php 
$encoded_email = base64_encode( '<a href="mailto:[e-mail]">Email Me</a>' );
echo '<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">{document.write(Base64._utf8_decode(';
echo $encoded_email;
echo '))}';
?>

But that doesn't work. I don't know how to use PHP to generate something that JS can decode using "String.fromCharCode", and i tried utf8_encode, but couldn't get that to work either.

any help would be greatly appeciated

ok, in the time it took for this to get moderated, i figured out a solution. here's my function, for posterity:

function js_email_encode( $email_address, $email_link_text ) {
	$string = '<a href="mailto:' . $email_address . '">' . $email_link_text . '</a>';	
	$characters = str_split( $string );
	$encoded = '<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">{document.write(String.fromCharCode(';
	foreach ( $characters as $letter ) {
		$encoded .= ord( $letter );
		$encoded .= ',';
	}
	$encoded = rtrim( $encoded, ',' );
	echo $encoded = $encoded . '))}</script>';
}
