How to GET # symbol in URL?

[Remix919]

I'm trying to get a variable from a URL, for example index.php?user=abc#123, but when I try to GET or REQUEST the variable $user from the URL, it just shows up as "abc". Is there anyway to get the entire string?

The longshot would be to replace the # with something unique that will actually pass, then reverse it on the other side.

swap # for LOL and send it through as index.php?user=abcLOL123

then replace LOL with #

as, I said, longshot.

Ok, lol, I had though of something like that using a string replace, was hoping there was an easier solutions though

Yes, it will ignore the # as that is used to pass information to the
HTML of the page.

not easier as such but the `normal` way around this is to urlencode()/urldecode() or base64_encode()/base64_decode() the variable
