Encoding Question...

[php_rk]

Hello,

I have an Advertisment Board and i would like to print the message id on the website for every message but i want to encode this id in a way that it cant be repeated.

any suggestions? thanks

Why does it need to be encoded? If it needs to be encoded then have a look in the manual.

I think what you might need is some kind of randomisation script? Are you using a database, if so could you not just use a field with an auto increment as the id?
