So just create a random string of 30 standard (a-z A-Z 0-9) characters,
that do not need encoding in the query string.
page.php?id=23472342h342hb4trritg87jhkjhjyKJHKJH
Store this value in your database alongside the regular id, and make
sure there is a check to make sure they are unique when created.
