Hello plb,
The reason I asked is because I had a profile page which showed the accompanying email address to logged in users and didn't show it to people not logged in. However, when I looked at the page source while not logged in it did actually show the email address. So that was not very secure.
In other words the php was hiding it front-end...but not back-end
That made me wonder if there was a way to secure the email addresses in the database so it wouldn't show up like an email address in the page source.
