Get URL with anchor

[mryarbles]

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to retrieve the entire url including an appended anchor

 

For instance: if you entered the url: http://www.url.com/application/#/page/1/

 

$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] is "/application/".  The anchor "#/page/1/" is nowhere to be found.

 

Does php have any way of retrieving that following anchor?  Do I have to do this with javascript?

I'm not finding anything, but if your generating the links with the anchors, then you can add a GET statement, e.g. ?anc=3

It is not possible to retrieve the hash of a URL directly using PHP.

Thanks

 

Is it possible with any other server side languages that you know of?

[rarebit]

might be able to use mod_rewrite to also make it into a variable

Yeah that's what I was thinking....but I'm terrible with regular expressions

 

Thanks a lot

javascript... its not serverside, but you can pass it to a php variable and use it that way.
