# in url getting ignored in php 5.2 [duplicate]

Answer 1

The # character has a special meaning in URLs.

http://localhost?a=b#test

causes the browser to load http://localhost?a=b and jump to the element with the id or name of "test". That part is never sent to the server.

Answer 2

The URL fragment is not sent to the server by the browser. If you want to include an actual "#" in the query string then you need to encode it as %23 first.
