pass val in url

[Guest]

Hi,
Is there any better way instead of passing value in url? Because in url people can see the all values. I am passing id's in url but i don't want other to see that. again my data is not that sensitive.
thanks

Pass them to an intermediate page which changes them to session variables first and then redirects to the real page.

You could use form elements instead.

Or you could use encrypt and decrypt.

What about trying to pass values in hidden form fields?
Depending on what values you are passing, you might consider inserting the values into a database and then pass a keys in the url. Once on the desired page use the keys to unlock the true values that you previously stored in the database.. Just one idea..

Hi Nick
Use Scope variables like form / session or try to encrypt the value and pass through the URL.
