    How do I secure emails using php? Domain tools uses images to display them like this. Should I use GD to do that?

    you could do somthing like this (GD)

    
header ("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @ImageCreate (200, 30);
$background_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
imagecolortransparent($im,$background_color);
$text_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 233, 14, 91);
ImageString ($im, 3, 5, 5, "E-MAIL ADDRESS HERE", $text_color);
ImagePNG ($im);
    PHP:
    thanks

    Thanks a lot, it seems to work. Does it take up a lot of resources to do that when you have many images in a single page?

    you could extend this script easily to cache results in a temp-dir to speed up the rendering.

    rendering a lot of text-images each time a unique users loads a page sure takes some resources on the server. more as if serving static pages.
    if you need this script with a caching function, PM me.
