Hide query string variables from url

PHP

My url looks like that
http://www.mydom.com/page.php?act=upd&lid-15364&bid=1002

Is there a way to hide these query string variables and user see just
http://www.mydom.com/page.php

Advance thnx

submit your form using post instead of get

3

I dont submit any form this is a text link.

That URL has variables that are normally assigned via the GET method of a form. Unless you have literally typed that into your html, then you should use POST instead to hide them.

If you hardcoded, then you cannot. Can’t see why you would want to have it non-dynamic anyway.

5

you can use mod_rewrite to make your urls pretty if thats what your after.

google for it

mod_rewrite will do the trick, this is a part of my site’s mod_rewrite rules as an example:


Options +MultiViews

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^search$ /index.php?action=search
RewriteRule ^stats$ /index.php?action=stats
RewriteRule ^admin$ /index.php?action=admin

RewriteRule ^view/book/(.*)$ /index.php?action=view&item=book&bId=$1
RewriteRule ^view/author/(.*)$ /index.php?action=view&item=author&aId=$1
RewriteRule ^view/publisher/(.*)$ /index.php?action=view&item=publisher&pId=$1
RewriteRule ^view/category/(.*)$ /index.php?action=view&item=category&cId=$1

RewriteRule ^xmldump/(.*)$ /dump.xml.php?bId=$1
RewriteRule ^admin/import$ /index.php?action=admin&item=import

RewriteRule ^list/books$ /index.php?action=list&item=book
RewriteRule ^list/authors$ /index.php?action=list&item=author
RewriteRule ^list/publishers$ /index.php?action=list&item=publisher

RewriteRule ^view/book /index.php?action=list&item=book
RewriteRule ^view/author /index.php?action=list&item=author
RewriteRule ^view/publisher /index.php?action=list&item=publisher

RewriteRule ^list/books/(.*)$ /index.php?action=list&item=book&page=$1

RewriteRule ^graph/(.*)$ /stats/graph.stats.php?draw=$1

Just put it in a .htaccess file and you are done!
