Get #value posted in url

[dsbpac]

Can someone please help me!!

 

How can I get the value in an link like

 

<a href="#first">Link</a>

 

I need to get first in an variable.

 

I have search an search but I can't find any help. I know I can get it if i pass it in the URL name but the way the css is coded. I need to get the value like it is.

 

 

 

Thank you.

Get the value where? In PHP? That's not possible, because the URL fragment (the part after #) is never sent to the server. It's purely client-side.

 

It might be a good idea if you explain what exactly you're trying to do. I mean the broader picture.

If you are looking to pass variables through anchor tags, you use a format like this:

<a href="?myVar=hello">Link</a>

Note the question mark before the variable named "myVar". When you click the link, the variable is passed to PHP and can be retrieved using $_GET['myVar']. Here's a quick code sample that you could use:

<?php
if(isset($_GET['myVar'])) {
    echo $_GET['myVar'];
}
?>
<div><a href="?myVar=hello">Link</a></div>
