hashids

$hashids = new Hashids\Hashids('this is my salt');
$id = $hashids->encode(1, 2, 3);
$numbers = $hashids->decode($id);

Hashids is a small open-source library that generates short, unique, non-sequential ids from numbers.

You give it a 347 and it gives back “yr8”, you give it a [27, 986] and it returns “3kTMd”.

You can also decode those ids back. This is useful in bundling several parameters into one or simply using them as short unique strings.
