How to use htaccess to rewrite url to html anchor tag (#)

Question

I have a situation where I want to take the following URL:

/1/john

and have it redirect using Apache\'s htaccess file to go to

/page.php?id=1&na

Answer 1

You cannot do an internal redirect to an anchor. (Just think about it: how would Apache scroll down to the anchor?) Your link should pointo to /1/john#john. Anchors aren't part of the request uri.
