Hi,
I need some help with URL encryption or something similar. For example I have a URL http://www.myurl.com/search.php?iu=3...v1=y&u=12qazxq but I do not want it to be displayed with the parameters rather I would like it to be displayed as http://www.myurl.com/search.php?id=e...sdh347ueir3948

What is the best and the most secure way to do this in PHP, I am developing the site on Windows 2003 Enterprise Server Platform and hosting in IIS 6.0.

Does PHP have some inbuilt function to do this or I would have to use a 3rd party tool for this.

Any advice on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Simple encrypt the parameters and then decrypt them while you are reading them. You don't need any 3rd party tool

You can use for example mcrypt http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.mcrypt.php

To encrypt them and then it will send it to

http://www.myurl.com/search.php?id=4...3fdsfsd4324234

And then you would decrypt the id in the result of the search.php
