Veltu Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hi all, I'm creating a small news/blog and I was wondering is it safe (or if there is a better way) to pass the row id from the table as the URL to view the article... e.g. http://www.mysite.com/viewarticle?id=11 I then select the data from the table where the id is equal to the above. Kind Regards and Thank you. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/289907-using-an-id-in-the-url/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution trq Posted July 15, 2014 Solution Share Posted July 15, 2014 There is nothing inherently unsafe about it, in fact, its a very common approach. The only real improvement might be to use mod_rewrite and a slug for your url.
