wframe Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Does anyone know how to encrypt a filename? For instance, I'd like to encrypt a filename so that is not visible in a browser. Something like: <? $test= md5('join'); echo " <a href='http://www.example.com/$test/members/register.php'>A...</a>"; ?> This code almost works but does not recognize the link once it's encoded. I get the following error once I click the link: Not Found The requested URL /731b886d80d2ea138da54d30f43b2005/members/register.php was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartleySan Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Are you actually encoding the file name as well, or just the link to the file name? Because if you're only encoding the link, but not the actual file name as well, it'll never work. Edit: Also, in your example, you seem to be encoding a path folder, not a file. Is that okay? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
