Hi,
I want to encode Yii URL parameters
Example: /index.php/books/1/subject/2
1 and 2 must be encoded.
Whats the simplest way in Yii to achieve this.

The simplest way is to encode them yourself. For example, you encode those values before you use them with createUrl() command.
Hi Roman,
Thanks for the suggestion… 
wat i meant was to encode only parameters in urls by extending CBaseUrlRule
Currently m using following code and facing problems with url which contains parameters, i am currently debugging the code and trying to get it work properly. Lemme know if u have any suggestion for the same,
in conifg/main.php , i am having,
‘rules’ => array(
'' => 'site/index', // normal URL rules
array(// your custom URL handler
'class' => 'application.components.CustomUrlRule',
),
),
and my component CustomUrlRule,
class CustomUrlRule extends CBaseUrlRule {
public function createUrl($manager, $route, $params, $ampersand) {
$key = "testKey";
return base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), $route, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key))));
}
public function parseUrl($manager, $request, $pathInfo, $rawPathInfo) {
$key = "testKey";
return rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), base64_decode($pathInfo), MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key))), "\0");
}
}
This will output --> index.php/sTK7yXb5Pu22d4n5tbGgT6hwQxhvlrzAe5KWJ0Y4020=
i was intending to convert index.php/user/1/department/1 to index.php/user/(encoded)/department/(encoded)
Thank You,

Try something like this, only encrypting the values of $params array:
public function createUrl($manager, $route, $params, $ampersand) {
$key = "testKey";
foreach ($params as $k => $v) {
$params[$k] = base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), $v, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key))));
}
return $route;
}
I haven’t tested if this works, just trying to give you an idea what to change and where.
Er … the standard base64 output will contain a few characters that aren’t url-friendly. Just saying.
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestio romen, yeah was i trying to implement something like that for the url parameters.
Thanks for the suggestion Sourcerer, oh ok once i get the URL encoding done, will implement a better encryption decryption method which are url friendly.

Hi,
Have Created CustomUrlRule for encrypted URL’s likes - index.php/test/admin/id/20/user/24 .
In Main,
‘urlManager’ => array(
'urlFormat' => 'path',
'rules' => array(
'' => 'site/index', // normal URL rules
array(// your custom URL handler
'class' => 'application.components.CustomUrlRule',
),
),
),
//Place this in protected/component/CustomUrlRule.php
class CustomUrlRule extends CBaseUrlRule {
var $skey = "key123456789"; // you can change it
public function createUrl($manager, $route, $params, $ampersand) {
$paramString = array();
foreach ($params as $key => $value) {
$paramString[] = $key;
$paramString[] = $value;
}
$paramString = implode(",", $paramString);
$paramStringEncoded = $this->encode($paramString);
return $route . '/' . $paramStringEncoded;
}
public function parseUrl($manager, $request, $pathInfo, $rawPathInfo) {
$pathParams = explode("/", $pathInfo);
if (isset($pathParams[2])) {
$paramStringDecoded = $this->decode($pathParams[2]);
$params = explode(",", $paramStringDecoded);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($params); $i+= 2) {
$_GET[$params[$i]] = $params[$i + 1];
$_REQUEST[$params[$i]] = $params[$i + 1];
}
}
return $pathInfo;
}
public function safe_b64encode($string) {
$data = base64_encode($string);
$data = str_replace(array('+', '/', '='), array('-', '_', ''), $data);
return $data;
}
public function safe_b64decode($string) {
$data = str_replace(array('-', '_'), array('+', '/'), $string);
$mod4 = strlen($data) % 4;
if ($mod4) {
$data .= substr('====', $mod4);
}
return base64_decode($data);
}
public function encode($value) {
if (!$value) {
return false;
}
$text = $value;
$iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB);
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND);
$crypttext = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $this->skey, $text, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv);
return trim($this->safe_b64encode($crypttext));
}
public function decode($value) {
if (!$value) {
return false;
}
$crypttext = $this->safe_b64decode($value);
$iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB);
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND);
$decrypttext = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $this->skey, $crypttext, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv);
return trim($decrypttext);
}
}
Any Enhancements or suggestions are welcome…

Hello Preveen,
I have use this class for URL Encoding. Its working perfectly for simple Controller Action. But i have an issue for filtering the data in gridview. Means, Whenever i am searching any word in CGridview Filter, It throws an error as :
Error 500: <h1>PHP Error [8]</h1>
<p>Array to string conversion</p>
Another issue is that, when i am accessign a controller from module. It throws an error “Undefind Offset”. Because in “$pathParams[2]” i am getting simple string value. Because my module controller URL is like : ‘module/controller/action’.
Thank,
Karmraj Zala.
Problem with the solved CGridview Filter,
public function createUrl($manager, $route, $params, $ampersand) {
$paramString = array();
foreach ($params as $key => $value) {
$paramString[] = $key;
if (is_array($value)) {
foreach ($value as $key2 => $value2) {
$paramString[] = $key2;
$paramString[] = $value2;
}
}
else
$paramString[] = $value;
}
//var_dump($paramString);
if (is_array($paramString))
$urlString = implode(",", $paramString);
else
$urlString = $paramString;
$paramStringEncoded = $this->encode($urlString);
return $route . '/' . $paramStringEncoded;
}
