I am trying to find a way to save the hash portion of a url and as a PHP variable. This idea is a bit kooky, but bear with me...
I'd like to extract the "location" fragment from the following URL and save it as a PHP variable.
http://www.example.com/#location
However, discussion at this link indicates that the fragment of a URL is only reachable through JavaScript.
But would it be possible to create a link where the fragment is duplicated in the URL, parsed by PHP, and then removed by mod rewrite? So....
Original url:
http://www.example.com/location/#location
PHP gets location variable thanks to the plain "location" in the URL
Apache then rewrites the link to:
http://www.example.com/#location
I'm curious to know if there is an elegant way to solve this problem.
