Add elements id as hash to Facebook share link

[Ajax30]

On this page I have a bunch of mp3 files displayed as nicely styled boxes.

Each box has a Facebook share button. I would like to add each boxes id (mp3jWrap_0, mp3jWrap_1, etc) as hash to its Facebook share link so that every time a shared item is visited from Facebook, the URL contains the item's hash.

For this purpose I have written the code:

<?php

  $actual_link = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) ? "https" : "http") . "://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

  $actual_link = trim($actual_link, '/');

  $actual_link = $actual_link . '#mp3jWrap_' . $id;

  echo '<li class="fb_share"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="' . $actual_link . '" title="Share on Facebook" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a></li>';

?>

The problem: the string after the hash (with hash included) is not in the URL when you click the share button. Why?

You're creating a link like

http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://www.example.com/somewhere#mp3jWrap_123

Just like every other link, if you put a # in it then you're going to an anchor on that page. There is no "mp3jWrap_123" on that Facebook page.

 

Encode the URL. You also messed up the quotes - look at your use of "s.
