How to hide URL values in PHP Laravel

Question

I need to hide the url value in php as i have a booking site and users are able to edit their reservation through the URL if needed.

This is how the URL link looks like.

http://spiaggiasanmontano.it/booking/S12/2021-06-11/2021-06-12/0

i'm trying to remove the dates in the URL without breaking the code, any idea how i can do this?

And this is the route controller for it.

Route::get('/booking/{place_id}/{checkin}/{checkout}/{error_msg}', 'PagesController@createbooking')->name('user.createbooking');

yeah, submit the form with post request and remove the route parameters if you don't want them in the url. — zahid hasan emon

What exactly do you want to achieve? Where are you stuck? If such data is not relevant, why not simply remove it? Wouldn't it be better to use a single, unique identifier per booking, instead of multiple values? — Nico Haase

You can use laravel Encrypter if you still wants to pass it in url with encrypted value instead of displaying orginal value

for example checkin date

pass encrypted date to url encrypt(checkin) value

encrypt(checkin)

then in your controller you can decrypt it

 $checkinDate= decrypt($checkin);

For example if have link like below in blade

<a href="{{route('user.createbooking',['palceid',encrypt($checkin)])}}"/>

Ref:https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/encryption#using-the-encrypter

Is this the right way to write it in the URL route? : Route::get('/booking/{place_id}/{encrypt(checkin)}/{encrpt(checkout)}/{error_msg}', 'PagesController@createbooking')->name('user.createbooking');
