Detect URL tags example.com/page.php#anycontent

Question

How can I identify this type of tags:

example.com/file.php#inbox or example.com/another.php#spam

Like Gmail is detecting #inbox #spam #mycontent

I have tried with $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] but it does not work...

Answer 1

The hash part (everything after and including the # character) is not sent to the server. Only the client side (javascript) can read and use it.

The hash property can be requested from the Javascript location objects: location.hash .

If you want to pass data to a page, use GET parameters:

page.php?key=value

In PHP, you can use $_GET['key'] to retrieve value .
