Can php find #items on address bar?

[fantic]

we can program on php like get form or method (ie: view.php?item=23) then it shows item 23 from $_GET['item'] or $_REQUEST['item']. can we make like this(view.php#23) dynamically?

do you want to get the 23 out of a URL like view.php#23

this i not possiable in php as browsers don't send that part in a request.

you might be able to get it with JavaScript but i don't know how.

You can retrieve the whole URL and parse it for the # sign, then take whatever comes after that.

 

But I'm not going to write that code.

 

This should get you pointed in the right direction:

 

http://www.webcheatsheet.com/PHP/get_current_page_url.php

 

It will tell you how to get the page URL. Then you can use the PHP string functions to extract the part of the URL that you want.

[ratcateme]

that page suggests that the #value is kept in $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] if you go to a page with phpinfo() say it was called ini.php and you go to ini.php#testStringtoSearch

and search for testStringtoSearch you can't find it because it is never sent to the server.

Ahh, you're correct. My mistake.

Well why not just send it in the URL as a $_GET param? The purpose of #anchorName is to jump to different parts of the page without reloading, so it's not going to make another request to the server anyway.
