How to get the value after the hash in "somepage.php#name"?

For a given url, I want to get the name-after-hash's age from the database. so for url like thepage.php#Madonna, you'll see "119!".

How can I extract the value after the hash in a url? (i need a safe all-browser-compatible-NON-JAVASCRIPT way). I want to do that like $_GET['after hash'].

The reason I'm not using GET is because I want to use AJAX and jquery's history plugin.

Basically what i want is to use ajax to retrieve data from the server according to the value assigned after the hash.

I don't think it's possible. The string after # is interpreted by the browser as an anchor name within the current page. It is not passed to the server.

This question didn't make much sense, you need to clarify it.

You want to hash the URL without Javascript, but in a way that can be used by Ajax?

Javascript

window.location.hash will give you this value. You can then pass it (via AJAX) to the server for results.

PHP

Check the Fragment of parse_url();

Return Values

On seriously malformed URLs, parse_url() may return FALSE and emit a E_WARNING. Otherwise an associative array is returned, whose components may be (at least one):

  • scheme - e.g. http
  • host
  • port
  • user
  • pass
  • path
  • query - after the question mark ?
  • fragment - after the hashmark #
