Getting URL parameter .. not as easy as it seems

[lampstax]

Hey guys,

 

I'm dealing a url that is similar to hxxp://domain/directory/?#{$id}.

 

What I'm trying to do is extract $id from that.  Its not available as a $_GET variable and $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] comes up as "/directory/?".

 

Does anyone know how I could retrieve $id ?

 

Thanks

Is this the URL to the page that you are on and you're trying to get it?  If so, then this is a clumsy way of doing it.  The # is causing problems because it's a fragment separator for bookmarks etc in the browser.  What are you hoping to get?

It is the URL of the page that I'm on.  Agreed its not the best URL format but its what the application and I am working with.

 

Its to link directly to a specific part of a page, however, I need to be able to detect what part that is.

 

Any suggestions ?

That fragment is only meaningful to the browser, so if you can't change the format of the URL, then you probably need to look at javascript.

 

Or if you can use mod rewrite on Apache you can rewrite the URL so that the server passes the value to PHP:

 

/?#1 becomes: /?id=1#1 for example.
