Um, I think the answers here are all missing the point.
The purpose of a contact form that sends emails with PHP is that _your
email address is never shown to the user_. At all. The server takes
the user's text, sends it to you, and tells the user the message was
sent. Your address never even gets transmitted to the user's computer,
whether in one piece or in a lot of really hard to read pieces.
This makes all the talk of "obfuscating" an email address irrelevant.
Unless the mailing script is made in a way that completely defeats its
point - by including your address on the page - there is no email
address to protect. The spammer can try to break into the server to
see the script file with the address (really not worth it), or try to
abuse the form by sending spam through it. But they can't lift your
email address directly from it.
