As Jim said, you need to URLEncodedFormat() the result of Encrypt() before
putting it in the url...

You can't use Encrypt() for URL variables because of the special
characters it creates
Here's an idea though, as long as you don't mind "long" URLs:
Have a db table with "lookups", store a UUID with all of the URL
variables, then when you call a UUID, it looks up the equivalent URL
variables and uses them
How's that?

If you're happy with the results of encrypt() (which isn't really that
strong of encryption) then all you'd have to do to use it is to
URLEncodedFormat() the value before using it on the URL.
This will add some length the encrypted value, but if all you're encrypting
is an ID number it shouldn't cause problems.

Subject: Encrypting URLs
What's the best way to encrypt URL variables? For example, I'm passing an
ID number but do not want it recognizable in the URL
The "encrypt" function doesn't seem to work as it creates reserved url
characters.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Les
