Hello all, I have recently built a site using PHP. I was a little loose with GET and POST methods because I was using it for personal/private use. Now I am thinking of going public and allow different companies to use the site. I want to secure and hide as much data as possible to guard against user abuse. I have several instances where I use the GET method to pass IDS. I can use a POST but even that is visible in the source. How does one allow for processing but never really let the user see that actual ID? Do I use a HASH for IDs? Do I need to get more familiar with SESSION VARS. I am doing some experimenting. Any words of wisdom or resources would be helpful. Thanks!
