php hiding queries in address bar

[Far]

at the moment my site displays test.php?id=2&page=4 etc

how do i make it so it only ever shows test.php and nothing else (so ppl cant just change the id and jump to a different page)

i know theres a name for it, but i cant remember what its called.

use post instead of get.

i dont use forms for linking, i use this

<?php echo "<A href='test.php?id=$getid3[id]'>$getid3[idname] </a>"
?>

im gonna do some research on .htaccess now i know that where its done.

.htaccess can't guess your ID if you are not passing it over.
still think you need a form somewhere... and then use onclick instead.

taken from http://corz.org/serv/tricks/htaccess2.php

inside .htaccess

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^files/([^/]+)/([^/]+).zip /download.php?section=$1&file=$2 [NC]

would allow you to present this link as..

http://mysite/files/games/hoopy.zip

and in the background have that transparently translated, server-side, to..

http://mysite/download.php?section=games&file=hoopy

that's what I mean.. you still need to pass ID to the url.

kaoris right with using post, use buttons instead of links

<?php
if ($_POST['Submit'] == 'TEST')
{
$id = $_POST[id];
$idname = $_POST[idname]
$page = $_POST[page]
//ENTER REST OF CODE HERE
exit;
}
?>

<?php
echo '<form name="form1" method="post" action="test.php" style="padding:5px;">
<input name="idname" type="text" id="idname" value="';
echo $getid3[id];
echo '"><br/>
<input name="id" type="text" id="id" value="';
echo $getid3[idname];
echo '"><br/>
<input name="page" type="text" id="page" value="PAGE NUMBER"><br/>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="TEST"> </form>

?>';

try something like that

that isnt 2 different php pages btw, thats the test.php
