Pass encrypted value throught URL

M.Abletech 28 Jan, 2019

Hi,

I wish I can pass an encrypted value to my form using URL?

I need to pass an id number and I don't want users try to use the following number, I mean. So I want to encrypt it.

Any suggestion?

Thanks!

{uuid:}

Thanks healyhatman,

actually it is not chronoform id, it is another field.

So I really need an encryting function.

Thanks

Well you can add a {uuid:} (or a 36 digit VARCHAR) field to the database and assign it, or you can use PHP to encrypt it and decrypt it again.

Hi M.Abletech,

I have a CFv5 Action that allows you to create a short unique random string for exactly this purpose - you can, if you wish, also add some formatting to make it simpler to use e.g. XX9999X to give you a string like PQ473G

I think that would suit me perfectly!

Hi M.Abletech ,

I sent you a PM with a download link.
