Don't do it. Whoever did it probably thought they were being clever, but now you come along and you have no idea what the significance of it is. Name stuff appropriately.

chhorn Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) This looks totally mixed up Quote Hi this is not a PHP problem right Quote it is a unix/linux problem not really, this is just a guess from you Quote I have been going through my banking website what "banking website"? As you don't seem to be firm with the technology, i would think it's not YOUR website, more like the website of the bank you are customer at. and the website is accessed via URL - that has plain nothing to to with any "folder" as i think you mean from a filesystem - except that there's a common fallback. Quote and found a folder /#/login And the syntax for a URL is documented: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL#Syntax Edited July 29, 2019 by chhorn 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/309048-using-on-unix/#findComment-1568794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicken Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) If you're talking about just seeing /#/login in the URL, then the # isn't a folder name. The # denote a fragment identifier. The /login is likely then used by some Javascript on the page to determine what content to display. This was commonly used for web applications prior to the advanced history API becoming available in modern browsers, and is still commonly used when you need to maintain high backwards compatibility which a bank likely does. If you actually mean a file system folder with # as it's name, then it's a dumb idea and who knows why they did it.
