I have a program that emails a user a link to verify their email. So I thought I would take their email and use encrypt to mask it. Then decrypt it to verify the email against the database.
So I wrote this and put it in the email so they could click on it: <a href="test.cfm?UID=#urlencodedFormat(encrypt(q.email, "somelongkey"))#&id=#arguments.userID#"> I am getting some errors where some users the URL variable "ID" (the second variable in the hyperlink) is not defined. Like they clicked on the link in the email and part of the URL variables were chopped off. Anyone recommend a better way of making the URL so I can validate the users email address? I thought URLEncodedFormat would fix any strange characters that would not pass in a URL variable. Maybe it is their email program chopping off the URL variables? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
