You've found the "minor bug" I mentioned.  The built-in WWF email client does not transform the data back.  If you're comfortable modifying ASP code yourself, follow the link in my previous post to correct the problem yourself.

It's just 4 lines of code that you can copy and paste.  Let me know if you're not comfortable doing the work yourself send me a PM and I can do the work for you.  I'm not sure if -boRg- is going to implement this fix before the release of version 8.

thanks for your help. it seems WWF didn't transform it back. because when I try to send email to a member with the 'like...' address by the forum built-in email client, the 'functions_send_mail.asp' will report error 'lik&#101;future@***.com is not a valid email address']]> Thu, 29 Sep 2005 18:11:55 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/email-address-problem_topic16718_post91443.html#91443 <![CDATA[email address problem : &#034;LIKE&#034; isused in SQL...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/email-address-problem_topic16718_post91262.html#91262 Author: JJLatWebWiz

"LIKE" is used in SQL and so is transformed by WWF to "lik&#101;" before it's stored in the database.  This is by design and is meant to help prevent attacks called "SQL Injection".  Except for a minor bug, WWF transforms the data back to normal when it's required.
 
If you need to use the addresses outside of WWF, you could build a similar decodeString function.

thisi s not a problem, this is a coding sytstem where all input ischecked and if the work like is within the input. it changes like tothe above.

this is to prevent SQL injections and hacking

I just install a WWF on my computer for testing, I registered an account with the email address: likefuture@***.com, and when I check the database, the address changed to lik&#101;future@***.com. Who can help me to resolve this problem? thanks!]]> Tue, 27 Sep 2005 11:27:23 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/email-address-problem_topic16718_post91246.html#91246
