通过在PHP网站上传递加密的ID号来显示单个Feed

Question

I want to display a single feed which is stored in my database on my website. The id will be fetched from database and if there is a match in provided id then the feed will be displayed. But i don't want to disclose the id of my feed. Like if I want to access the feed having id 1,

I will have to visit the url http://example.com/feed/12345.

Where "12345" is some encrypted numerical equivalent of 1. How can this be implemented in php?

Answer 1

2 ways:
1. Generate ID as a random unique string, not as auto-incremented.
2. Use http://www.php.net/manual/ru/function.mcrypt-encrypt.php
