"mask" url

[Bradford_Lad]

Hi,

I'm passing urls between various php files but I would like to "mask" the actual url so that the "key" part of the url is not visible.

ie:

http://www.something.com/login.php?id=1

becomes

http://www.something.com/login.php

Thanks in advance

Are you talking about the GET variable id?

You want to pass variables via GET, but hide them from a user?

The very nature of passing variables via GET requires them to be visible in the URL.

Just find another way to pass your variables.

The only possible way to pass a variable without the user having access to it is using $_SESSION variables, or maybe POSTing variables using fsockopen.

Just create a session, and pass the SID if you don't want to rely on cookies.
