Just wondering what techniques are commonly used to hide a record
number
when linking to data within a website.
Why should you worry about hiding record numbers? It's hardly a
security threat if you maintain password-restricted access.
You could encode the querystring when writing it into HTML as a link
and then decode it when you receive the page using a reverse
algorithm. For example, write the link as page.a4d?
kdfh=89df798sdf79s8f and then use MD5 to decode the value and
variable name. That way, both the query string variable name and
value are both hidden, and can't be easily decrypted.
