Yes, and I checked the value of arg_separator.input with phpinfo(). When I try to get it to work with a different character it works fine, but the # is a problem for some reason, I think php might think it's a comment or something. >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.

I guess I could do that but I really think this is a bug in php, and since the situation is not really that urgent I guess I'll wait for the php guys to fix it.
