access # part of the URL via PHP

Say I have this url.

http://mydomain.local/category/12/garden#31/decking-treatment

Can the part after the # i.e 31/decking-treatment be retrieved on serverside?

I checked in the $_SERVER and $_REQUEST superglobals but it is not there.

Thanks

Regards Gabriel

This is how I sort it:

function reloadPage()
    {
        var hash = location.hash;
        if (hash){
            hash = hash.replace('#', '');
            location.href = hash;
        }
    }

reloadPage();

include this in your js file.

No, everything after the # is only ever used client side and will not hit the server. If you were to encode the # character before pushing it to the server then you might be able to do something but it would be a little long winded. What is it you are trying to acheive overall?

No. It is handled client side and never sent to the server. That is why using it for JS based history instead of pushState is a bad idea.
