#21507 [Opn->Bgs]: GET data containing # is ignored

ID: 21507 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: dave@calistra.com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Linux / Apache PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php You need to use urlencode here, for security reasons we strip the # if I recall correctly. Derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-07 23:44:25] dave@calistra.com I had a page where I was passing colour info to a script using the standard html numeric scheme - e.g. pulldown.php?out=#c0c0ff&over=#2020ff&item=#ffffff but the params were not received by the receiving script if the hash sign was used. I do not know if this is a PHP issue or an apache one but what I assume is happening is that something thinks that a reference is being made to an internal anchor. perhaps urlencoding culd have helped - and I had a workaround so this is not really high priority - Dave. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21507&edit=1
