#23829 [Opn->Bgs]: header ("Location: test.php?this=5&that=6#goToThisBookmark"); err with bookmark

ID: 23829 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: MDonatas at centras dot lt -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: *URL Functions Operating System: Windows 2000 Server PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: No, I don't think you understand. If the browser actually sends this anchor data, by encoding it, or by whatever means, then PHP is bound to show this to you. PHP could not possibly take that bookmark data and scroll the page to the appropriate place for you. That's a client-side function. And by the way, I tested this on IE 6.0.2800.xxx and it doesn't happen with that browser. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-27 09:09:21] MDonatas at centras dot lt I am using IE 6.0.2600.0000 Tried the same with Netscape Communicator 4.7 and it worked remarkably well. BUT! This issues has just been tested with ASP, and it worked, all variables were sent as they should have been sent and the page scrolled to the right bookmark. SO, there is something on your end too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-27 08:47:24] rasmus@php.net Looks like a browser bug to me. Which browser are you using? Browsers don't actually send the #foo across the wire, they simply remember it and scroll down to the location of the <a name> tag when they find it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-27 08:37:30] MDonatas at centras dot lt I'll make it clear with 3 small webpages in my example on how to reproduce this bug. *******test1.php******** <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <a href="test2.php">Go to test2.php</a> </body> </html> ************************ *******test2.php******** <?php header ("Location: test3.php?this=5&that=6#MyBookmark"); ?> ************************ *******test3.php******** <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <?php var_dump ($HTTP_GET_VARS); ?> </body> </html> ************************ Now, first part of the test: Run test2.php so you would get redirected to test3.php OUTPUT in test3.php :: array(2) { ["this"]=> string(1) "5" ["that"]=> string(1) "6" } Everything is fine here, now second part of the test. Run test1.php and click on the link to go to test2.php and instantly get redirected to test3.php OUTPUT in test3.php :: array(2) { ["this"]=> string(1) "5" ["that"]=> string(12) "6#MyBookmark" } See, there is bookmark thingy attached at the end as if it is a part of my second variable sent over GET vie the link. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23829&edit=1
