More is Less - the 'math'

The alphabet has 26 characters. That's a lot more than 10 digits. If we also distinguish upper- and lowercase, and add digits to the bunch or the heck of it, we already have (26 x 2 + 10)?62 options?we can use?per position?in the ID.

Now of course we can also add additional funny characters to 'the bunch' like - / * & # but those may cause problems in URLs and that's our target audience for now.

OK so because there are roughly?6x more characters?we will use per position, IDs will get much?shorter. We can just fit a lot?more data in each position.

This is basically what url shortening services do like tinyurl, is.gd, or bit.ly. But similar IDs can also be found at youtube:?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzNjIBEdyww

Convert your IDs

Now unlike Database servers: webservers are easy to scale so you can let them do a bit of converting to ease the life of your users, while keeping your database fast with numbers (MySQL really likes them plain numbers ; ).

To do the conversion I've written a PHP function that can translate big numbers to short strings and vice versa. I call it: alphaID.

The resulting string is not hard to decipher, but it can be a very nice feature to make URLs or directorie structures more compact and significant.

So basically:

• when someone requests rLHWfKd
• alphaID() converts it to 999999999999
• you lookup the record for id 999999999999 in your database

Example

Running:

alphaID<span style="color: #66cc66; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">(</span><span style="color: #cc66cc; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">9007199254740989</span><span style="color: #66cc66; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">)</span>;

will return 'PpQXn7COf' and:

alphaID<span style="color: #66cc66; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">(</span><span style="color: #ff0000; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">'PpQXn7COf'</span>, <span style="font-weight: 700; color: #000000; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">true</span><span style="color: #66cc66; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">)</span>;

will return '9007199254740989'

Easy right?

More features

• There also is an optional third argument:?$pad_up. This enables you to make the resulting alphaId at least?X?characters long.
• You can support even more characters (making the resulting alphaID even smaller) by adding characters to the?$index?var at the top of the function body.

Thanks to Even Simon, there's a JavaScript implementation. You will also find PHP version there, that implements the encode & decode functions as separate methods in a class.
