Need help with URL encoding

Hi,
I need some help with URL encryption or something similar. For example I have a URL http://www.myurl.com/search.php?iu=321xw1&di=wswe675511&v1=y&u=12qazxq but I do not want it to be displayed with the parameters rather I would like it to be displayed as http://www.myurl.com/search.php?id=eru3893Xwweu327zsdh347ueir3948

What is the best and the most secure way to do this in PHP, I am developing the site on Windows 2003 Enterprise Server Platform and hosting in IIS 6.0.

Does PHP have some inbuilt function to do this or I would have to use a 3rd party tool for this.

Any advice on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

You might consider Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! and it's sibling base64_decode. There is a another function urlencode, but it won't do what you want.
