Question

I’m studying a way of encoding or encrypting my url variables, but I don’t see how to get them back…

Having this

_link_=Home&nc=1&plw=950&pmw=0&prw=

I used to do $_GET['_link_']

but when base64_encode the url like

base64_encode("_link_=Home&nc=1&plw=950&pmw=0&prw=");

echo base64_decode($string);

how do I get my _link_ or my nc variables back?

Thanks

If you have something like http://www.example.com/?BASE64ENCODEDSTRINGHERE, you can do the following:

$query_string = base64_decode($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
parse_str($query_string, $getdata);

In this case you will have same data in $getdata array as you would normally have in $_GET.
