• php

• .htaccess

• 2 You could do a POST to hide any variables you pass to the backend fro the URL. You could also set your information into a cookie, which the backend can read as well. – Martin Konecny Commented Nov 20, 2014 at 5:03

If you want to hide GET variables or values you should not use GET. In GET methods the data will always be send as part of the url. If you want to 'hide' the data (or not show it in the URL) from the user you should use a POST method.

You may use any one of the following:

• Use POST method instead of GET
• Use Ajax, with either POST or GET method
• Use encryption and decryption if you really wish to send secured way i.e dem/?p=ENCRYPTED_STRING. Here ENCRYPTED_STRING will have all the GET data

Obviously since you did not take the time to tell us how you page structure is and how you are storing your values I can only guess.

Server side

If you store the data on a post-redirect page you can store it in a $_SESSION

session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['message']))
{
    $_SESSION['message'] = "succes";
}

Then on your confirmation page

session_start();
echo $_SESSION['message'];

Client side

You can create hidden inputs and add these to your form, set your form to post and handle these $_POST values on your form action page.

var x = document.createElement("INPUT");
x.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
x.setAttribute("name", "message");
form.appendChild(x);

Then on your confirmation page

if (isset($_POST['message']))
{
    echo $_POST['message'];
}

modify .htaccess file to make short URLs the way you want them to look like
