How to obtain anchor part of URL after # in php

Question

While using LightBox mechanism in my project I got an URL http://nhs/search-panel.php#?patientid=2 I need to collect that patientid from this through GET mechanism, Is that

Answer 1

Maybe everybody else is right and a simple $_GET is enough but if the # in your URL ( http://nhs/search-panel.php#?patientid=2 ) is supposed to be there you would have to do that with JavaScript (and Ajax e.g. JQuery) because everything after # is not included in the request as far as I know.
