Complete URL in php

How can we echo the complete url of the current page in PHP if the url is something like 

http://www.abcd.in/emi-calc22.php#about

I have different tabs such as #about, #new on that page. I would like to identify the Div displayed on the page corresponding to the tabs with the help of the URL.

If you're using PHP on the page then why not pass the tab id as a query string, this will force a page refresh but you will have access to the URL's query string value server side via $_GET or $_REQUEST.

e.g. <a href="/samepage.php?tab=about">About Tab</a>

This could then be accessed in PHP via $_GET['tab'], then just use a switch statement or something to load the relevant div.

No need for complicated AJAX or javascript!!

The fragments can only be accessed on the client side (javascript) this is because when you press an url with a # in it you don't actually make a new request to the server but your browser processes it.

If you really want to get the # part to the server you will have to use ajax or a redirect function in javascript.

You can not get the fragment part of URL through PHP.

Because it is not being sent to server hence you can not get it #about
