As for "http://mysite.com/test.php?id=0#top" sometimes resulting in id='0' and sometimes id='0#', perhaps this is a situation where letting PHP register the globals automatically is not the way to go. You could instead extract the query string from the URL by using parse_url() <http://php.net/parse-url>, then turn that query string into variables by using parse_str() <http://php.net/parse-str>. -- CC
