Andrew R Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi there. I was wondering if it were possible to convert text to numbers or some sort of URL friendly link. For example, "Hello there" would be converted to '435342553' or whatever. I want to do this because for example when someone goes to this URL, example.com/435343434, the number/uri string would be decoded and whatever the text was it would be displayed on the site. I can write all this code no bother I just need some advice/ideas on the the encoding/decoding of the text. I was looking at some options for doing this..... hexdec - removes spaces md5 - cannot be decoded? None of them seem to be working, the problem is decoding them. md5 creates a perfect uri string but as I said it cannot be decoded. I would appreciate any ideas of suggestions. Thanks a million.

Fadion Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 You could use ord and chr to convert a string into it's ascii value. It still makes no sense to me why you want to use numbers instead of humanly-readable text in URLs anyway.
