hi you know what, i was wondering if this is possible

i have a website and it looks something like this:

http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id=456

as you can see from the above url, anyone can view all my pages because its abvious that my url increments to anyone can view my wallpapers and can download with robots all they have to do is increment like this

http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id=451
http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id=452
http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id=453
http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id=454
http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id=455
http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id=456
http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id=457
http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id=458

and so on.. this is the way im getting some robots to crawl my wesbite and sometimes they just put my content on their site

so i want to have my urls like this for example:

http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id=A32dxhsjdW

as you can see from the above, its only a code kinda like youtube if you see youtube they have have their urls like that

can you help me im not very familiar with encrypting or encoding my code.

base64_encode

you can use base64_encode php function on your scripts to hide or encrypt your real url.

for example, lets say you have your url like this:

http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id=451

well, if you use this code:

echo '<a href="http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id='.base64_encode ('451').'">Wallpaper 451</a>';

you should see the url like this:

http://www.example.com/?wallpaper_id=NDUx

so now all you have to do is decode it in your browser like this in php:

echo base64_decode('NDUx');

the output will be 451

thats it

i hope that helps

using the below code you can reverse any attempt of decoding urls using base64_encode:

-- v--v--v--v-- code -- v--v--v--v--

<fieldset>
< url to decode:</b></legend>
<form id="decode_form" method="post" action="decode_url.php?decode=true <input type="text" name="encoded" size="60"> enter string<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="decode">
</form>
</f if(isset($_get['decode'])){
$string = $_post['encoded'];
$dstr = base64_decode($string);
echo "<br><br><u>decoded the string:</u><ul><li>$dstr</li></ul>< }
?>

i had the same issue but for bills, what i did is a table with encrypted algorythm that combine the ID, the Password and the section, all of them hashed in SHA1 merged togetter and output in antother SHA1 output... gave me something no robot can decode :P my solution is a bit radical tho... made it to secure payments, not wallpapers

ok, for all those beginers who might get very confused by this, i will create a simple to follow tutorial ok. here we go:

1. open your text editor like notpad.
2. copy and paste this code:

<?php
if($_REQUEST["id"]){
$id = $_REQUEST["id"];
$url_id = base64_decode($_REQUEST["id"]);
echo '<h1>'.$url_id.'</h1>';
echo '<a href="./?">again</a>';
}else{
$key = "wallpaperama";
$wallpaper_id = '451';
$encrypted_data = $key.$wallpaper_id;
$id = base64_encode($encrypted_data);
echo '<a href="./?id='.$id.'">Wallpaper 451</a>';
}
?>

3. now save it as webune-encrypt.php
4. upload to your php website
5. open it with your browser and see it in action

hope that helps
