embedding emails as images in webpages

whats the best way to use email name as to display as images ?

if you check http://who.is/digitalpoint.com or http://whois.domaintools.com/chandan.in they display email name as images

how to achieve that ? i know we can make use of <img src="image.php?text=sometext"> but it still reveals the email id

 

Use this code

<?php
header('Content-type: image/gif');
?>
<?php
   $img=ImageCreate(300,300);
   $bgcolor=ImageColorAllocate($img,200,200,200);
   $red=ImagecolorAllocate($img,255,0,0); 
   $green=ImagecolorAllocate($img,0,255,0); 
   $blue=ImagecolorAllocate($img,0,0,255); 
   $grey=ImagecolorAllocate($img,50,50,50); 
   $black=ImagecolorAllocate($img,0,0,0); 
   ImageString($img,5,20,120,"something@domain.com",$red);
imagepng($img);
imagedestroy($img);
?>
           

Code (markup):

 

Basically, the script creating your site needs to write the email into a database with a certain id. This id is then passed on to image.php like image.php?image=123456. Image.php then uses the ID to get the eMail out of the database, and creates the image. The image creation process itself is described in the post above. Don't forget to delete the email from your database, you will not need it again.
