Link to extension
Obfuscates email addresses in the source, but presents a valid address to user.
This extension is designed to protect email addresses from harvesting by spambots, through obfuscation. It then uses jQuery to clarify the email address, presenting a valid email address to the user (optionally in a mailto: link).

Add the class as a component in your application’s main.php config file:

[size="3"]Usage[/size]
The class has a single public function: disguise(). This function takes 2 parameters:
-
$email (string): The email address to be obfuscated
-
$link (bool): Whether the email address should be displayed to the user as a mailto link - default is ‘true’
Wherever you want an email address displayed, call the disguise function according to the following examples:
With a mailto link:
echo Yii::app()->obfuscator->disguise('user@example.com',true);
Without a link:
echo Yii::app()->obfuscator->disguise('user@example.com',false);
