Im using query string appended to the URL eg “www.site.com/page.php?id=1” to pass an id so that the MySQL database selects relevant data and spits it out to the php. Its all working fine - but what im worried about is that the id in the URL is so easy to change - all someone with half a brain (or less) has to do is change the number to view other data that they shouldnt really be accessing…
so how can i make it so that the id is some abstract, untweakable number like “AE3324F3412” or something? obviously i will keep the primary key column “id” but use the new random ID column to select data - but how do i generate it?
