See parse_url() in PHP.

 

<?php
$url = 'http://username:password@hostname/path?arg=value#anchor';

print_r(parse_url($url));

echo parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH);
?>

 

Hope, this will help you.

You can't do this using PHP.

When facebook do it, they use javascript. After the ajax call to get a new image they change the value after the '#' in the url so that the browser back button can still cycle through the pages, even though the page has been updated asynchronously.
