Question

I have a url that is constructed using get variables like

location.href = this.href +'?type='+ escape($('#type_of_station').html()) + '&count='+ escape($('.number_changer').attr("id").slice(-1));

which gives me a url like the following

http://posnation.com/pre_config/pre_config_step_2.php?type=Grocery&count=2 

on the following page I grab the variables via PHP

<p id="type_of_station" class="text left"><?php $_GET['type'] != "" ? print str_replace("_", " ", $_GET['type']) : print "Food Pos System" ?></p>

This works great but the url is kind of ugly. Is there a way to maybe hide this and still have the get variables available to me on the next page

Answer 1

To make url look nice is one thing.
To hide url data is another. Never hide anything. Or you will make your site unusable.
