HELP NEEDED!!!! Hi everybody, I am new to PHP. I am trying to read a value appended to the url <a href="../handbook/app2.php#app2?id=<?php print $p; ?>" and I am reading the corresponding value by the following code: <?php $pageName; $pageName = $_GET['id']; if( $pageName == 1){ do something.... } else { do something else... } ?> now i am not getting any value in my $pageName. But as soon as i remove the #app2 from the url ie make it : <a href="../handbook/app2.php?id=<?php print $p; ?>" it works fine. Can anyone help me by telling me how to retrieve the appended variable to the url that has bookmarks. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53505 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53505&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53505&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53505&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53505&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53505&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53505&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
