Need help with URL encoding

Hi,
I need some help with URL encryption or something similar. For example I have a URL [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] but I do not want it to be displayed with the parameters rather I would like it to be displayed as [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

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 base64_encode and it's sibling base64_decode. There is a another function urlencode, but it won't do what you want.
