I use the following backend (PHP) pattern to send email.
I consider to start sending email by Ajax but I would still need to store my email address in some backend file (say, a PHP file) so it won't be available to spambots via Developer tools → Sources.
What Ajax pattern will you use to do so?

## behavior.php
```php
<?php
$name = $_POST['name']; # Required;
$email = $_POST['email']; # Required;
$to = 'EMAIL_ADDRESS_NAME@DOMAIN';
$subject = 'A new message from: ' . $name;
$headers[] = 'MIME-Version: 1.0';
$headers[] = 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8';
mail($to, $subject, $message, implode("\r\n", $headers));
?>
```
## message.php
```php
<?php
$message = <<<LABEL
<html>
<body>
<div><span class="form_output_col_1">Name: </span><span class="form_output_col_2">$name</span></div>
