How to User the Number Sign (#) For the GET Method?

Recommended Posts

The Script:

<?php

    echo "<h1>The Hashtag: </h1>";
    echo $_GET['hashtag'];

?>

An example for the URL on localhost:

/search.php?hashtag=#xbox

If I am not using the number sign, then the word "xbox" does get printed on screen, if I do use the number sign then the hashtag "#xbox" does not get printed on screen.

 

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks for the answer.

 

This is how I have gotten it to work:

<?php
    $string = "#xbox";
    echo "<a href='search.php?hashtag=" . urlencode($string) . "'>#xbox</a>";

    echo "<h1>The Hashtag: </h1>";
    if(isset($_GET['hashtag'])){
        echo $_GET['hashtag'];
    }
?>
