chad, we do almost exactly the same thing and it works fine, not sure why yours would not. this is how we do it:
<cfset encryptedEmail = encrypt(email,encryptionKey,encryptionAlgorithm,encryptionEncoding) /> <cfset emailLink = "https://#cgi.HTTP_HOST#/Folder/test.cfm?email=#encryptedEmail#";> and then in the email we have: <a href="#emailLink#">Click Here to Validate</a> we have never had any problems with this > 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?
