Just send the query string to the compressCrypt function and it will return the obfuscated result, for example $obfuscatedQueryString = compressCrypt("string=asdf&page=2&id=1998"); (a href="search.php?$obfuscatedQueryString")link(/a) which would turn into: href="eNorLinKzEu3TSxOSVMrSExPtTVSy0yxNbS0tAAAgnoIsA==" To go back to the original, take the obfuscated string and run it through the other function $unobfuscated = decompressCrypt($encryptedquerystring); or $unobfuscated = decompressCrypt($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]); //update I just now noticed that the site stripped out the PHP part in the link
