Pound sign (#) not working in PHP

Question

I have variable \'cno\' and it\'s values sometimes have 123# - ( end with pound sign. )

The problem is, after passing the URL I couldn\'t get variable w

Answer 1

# in a URL indicates a document fragment. URL-encode your values before sending them.

Answer 2

You'll have to encode the # as %23, so your URL would look like this:

/index.php?cno=34%23

To make it easier use PHP's built-in urlencode function: http://php.net/urlencode

$cno = "34#";
$url = urlencode("/index.php?cno=" . $cno); // "/index.php?cno=34%23"
