You'd have to decode it and decrypt it on the next page before you use it for anything. I don't understand what you mean by it not working.
those things are pretty big, tho'. One thing you could do is <CFSET base64encrypted = ToBase64(encrypt(string, key))> <CFSET encrypted = URLEncodedFormat(base64encrypted)> encrypting "12345" using the key "blah" generates JS4+JCwrPFAgCg== and JS4%2BJCwrPFAgCg%3D%3D which are less unwieldy than the straight urlencoded/encrypted version pf %25%2E%3E%24%2C%2B%3CP%20%0A Plain Base64 + encryption should also be db safe? --------------------------------------- Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc., www.mysecretbase.com --------------------------------------- ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 16:32:28 -0600 Actually, I just realized that URLEncodedFormat won't work, as a quote will be url escaped, and when you submit the form, it won't change back to a quote. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason Dowdell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, April 18, 2002 4:38 pm Subject: RE: Encrypting Numeric ID's > I tried all of those solutions except the htmleditformat. > Will the htmleditformat remove double quotes? > > ~jason > > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Robertson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 6:07 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Encrypting Numeric ID's > > > How about this: > > <CFSET encrypted = URLEncodedFormat(encrypt(string, key))> > > --------------------------------------- > Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] > MSB Designs, Inc., www.mysecretbase.com > --------------------------------------- > > > ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- > from: "Jason Dowdell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 18:14:51 -0400 > > Hi All, > > I'm encrypting an integer using the encrypt() function > in CF.
