Hi,

with this code I get the address of the browser:
$url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

but with this address:
http://www.example.com/example.php#one

the code above does not work ($url contains only 'http://
www.example.com/example.php').

How come? :(

Thanks
Vincenzo

Simple, because $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] doesn't contain the hash (#).

A hash is used to point to a certain point in the document.
I am not even sure it is send to the server at all (I think not).

If you want PHP to know about your #one, send it in the URL like this:

http://www.example.com/example.php?myInfo=one

Then from PHP, use superglobal $_GET to fetch the information:
$_GET["myInfo"] <-- will contain 'one'

You can also combine the Querystring info with a hash:

http://www.example.com/example.php?myInfo=one#one

Fragment identifiers are not part of the HTTP request, they are used
client-side only.

Hi,

I think parse_url() only works if you feed it an URL that contains the hash.
The problem is that is isn't send to the server at all (I think).

Usually not. The # separates the URL from the fragment identifier, which
doesn't belong to the URL. It is handled on the client-side only and not
sent to the server.

ACK. But that is not the same.

The `#' and everything that follows will _not_ reach the server. One would
need to URL-encode the `#' *in the request URI* (%23), which would defeat
its client-side purpose as delimiter for the fragment identifier.

> parse_url will get the stuff after the #.

No, it will not *here*, because there is nothing for it to get.

Please trim your quotes to the relevant minimum.

Sorry, I misunderstood the approach duplicating the data for the server
side.

It does not.

Bookmarks have nothing to do with this; that misconception aside,
you are correct, but you are missing the point.

Wrong again. But that's pretty normal for you.

And I know I'm not quoting like YOU want. And I don't give a flying frick.

Bookmarks have exactly *nothing* to do with this: Using such an URL, it will
be navigated to an *anchor* in the document even if there is no
corresponding bookmark in the user's bookmarks file or folder.

"Twayne" has a misconception about what a bookmark is, and so have you.

Get informed:
- <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmark_(World_Wide_Web)>
- <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier>

"Twayne" is missing the point because the reason for the OP's problem is not
that a "bookmark" (in that wrong sense) cannot be found, but because the
fragment identifier is not part of the *request* URI (as we have already
discussed).

> And I know I'm not quoting like YOU want.

The quoting style I am *asking* (you) *for* is not different from what is
customary on Usenet and what corresponds with common sense. But I can see
how the concepts of basic politeness, of writing for one's readers, and of
common sense might be challenging to you.

Once again, the troll has no idea what he's talking about. But he has
to open his mouth anyway.

And you should learn to take your own advice on quoting before trying to
lecture others (who don't give a damn what you want). But then that's
also so typical of a troll.

Actually, I have no misconceptions at all. In two of the particular programs
I use, they call the "#" to be a bookmark regardless of how it's used, and
to create such a link, the menu item is to Insert; Bookmark. A LOT of
wysiwyg programs use the same terminology. Thus, if an external site lets
you know where there is a "bookmark" (and that's what they call it on those
sites), you can send a surfer right to the "bookmarked" location within the
file using the "#" sign.

Rather than concentrate on the question that was asked, you decided to
debate the labelling for an octothorpe in this context. So, a sensibe answer
might have been that, more technically, it's called ... in order to be most
accurate.

No - if the "#", or bookmark, or misnomered "fragment identifier" as you
prefer, as far as I'm concerned, I like to use the clearest acceptable
language possible. You on the other hand appear as though rather than adding
information, you want to dismiss perfectly good information and restate the
very same thing in more technical language that a LOT few people will
understand.

The quoting style you felt it necessary to mention did no harm to the post;
it was quite clear what was response and what wasn't. Your comment there was
totally uncalled for but if you just had to say something, why couldn't you
take what appears to be a newbie under your wing and politely try to help
them? You're a lousy poster and I imagine just as irritating to those around
you as you try to be here.

Oh, and why the nick change?

The # *is* the fragment identifier. It's no "bookmark" - no matter what
some wacky WYSIWYG programs state. And in a newsgroup dealing with
technical issues precise terms help to avoid "discussions" like this one.

It is commonly used by web developers to identify a position within a
page - a "bookmark". This is different from the bookmark saved in your
web browser.

And there was no nick change.

The past (participle) form of the verb for using a misnomer is _misnamed_.

Actually, the `#' is (so to speak) the left-hand side fragment (identifier
component) _delimiter_, followed by the fragment identifier (which may be
empty). See also [RFC3986]:

| 3. Syntax Components
|
| The generic URI syntax consists of a hierarchical sequence of
| components referred to as the scheme, authority, path, query, and
| fragment.
|
| URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]
| […]
| 3.5. Fragment
|
| The fragment identifier component of a URI allows indirect
| identification of a secondary resource by reference to a primary
| resource and additional identifying information. The identified
| secondary resource may be some portion or subset of the primary
| resource, some view on representations of the primary resource, or
| some other resource defined or described by those representations. A
| fragment identifier component is indicated by the presence of a
| number sign ("#") character and terminated by the end of the URI.
|
| fragment = *( pchar / "/" / "?" )
| […]

Full ACK.

[The misconception, and the misnaming of the URI fragment
(component/identifier) as "bookmark" comes from the fact that fragments are
often used in one's bookmarks (which hold URIs), for example to keep a quick
reference to a specific message in a user-augmentable document resource:
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/introduction.php#76515>. But a bookmark can
also hold the URI <http://www.php.net/manual/en/introduction.php>, which
makes the aforementioned misconception and misnaming obvious.]
