Hi jemz,

depending on what you are trying to achieve you will want either encodeURI() or [URL=“https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent”]encodeURIComponent()

Hi pullo,

Thank you for the reply…so this is intended only for the query string as for encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?..but how can i encode if i have this kind of parameter

page.php?empid=4

now i don’t want the user know the empid is 4,is it possible to do some hash something like this

index.php?empid=%72566363363663d&

because i am afraid that if the user will change the url or something like he will guess and change this to no. 5 or any no… the new page will load and some information will be seen.

can you help me on this please.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Hi jemz,

Then you need some kind of authentication system in place.
A user should not be able to get at sensitive information by guessing a url.
Simple as that, I’m afraid.
