Get fragment (value after hash ‘#’) from a URL [closed]

If you want to get the value after the hash mark or anchor as shown in a user’s browser: This isn’t possible with “standard” HTTP as this value is never sent to the server (hence it won’t be available in $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] or similar predefined variables). You would need some sort of JavaScript magic on the client side, e.g. to include this value as a POST parameter.

If it’s only about parsing a known URL from whatever source, the answer by mck89 is perfectly fine though.
