By: Hillel Aftel Subject: RE: GET-variables You could conceivably use this to encrypt POST data, however it wouldn't be beneficial in most scenarios. POST data usually originates from an HTML form submission, and PHP runs on the server-side. So when would the encryption take place? You would need to run the encryption by sending the form data via Ajax to a PHP page -- which in itself would be an insecure, although hidden, GET request. You would only be replacing one insecure transmission method with another. That's why I wrote this solely as a method for eliminating the need to display GET data to the client when writing URL query strings from PHP code, rather than presenting it as an encryption method that's viable for POST submissions. That having been said, it could be used as a general-purpose encryption method for other types of data transport, as long as transmitting the data TO the PHP page first isn't required :) |
