If you really are not that concerned with security you can do
#toBase64("id=123")#
to encode and
#toString(toBinary(toBase64("id=123")))#
to decode. Totally insecure, but kind of sounds like what you want.

Subject: simple encode ???
Does anyone have a simple way of encoding a url var? What I am looking for
is to keep the string as short as possible and to make sure you can not just
increment a value and get a different database record? I am not looking to
make the values uncrackable, just not worth the effort to decode.
I tried Encrypt but it makes the url very long.
What I love to see would look some thing like this:
Url before:
www.somename.com/index.cfm?id=234
www.somename.com/index.cfm?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Url after:
www.somename.com/index.cfm?hU54JyF54
www.somename.com/index.cfm?JuYhYt54DFerDFhUhtJK076jNHbGFRFn
thanks
