Appending #anchor with other variables

[Pseud O'Nym]

Hi all, and apologies if this is a newbie type question, I am one.

I need to get a page to go to a paticular <a name=""> tag. It works fine
with no variables passed eg: myscript.php#to p, but I need to append other
info and just can't work out how to do it.

TIA

Re: Appending #anchor with other variables

You could add your variables to the querystring like

script.php#top? myvar=thevar&my var1=thevar2

and then retrieve them on the script.php page using

$myvar = $_GET["thevar"];

$myvar1 = $_GET["thevar2"];

Happy coding :)

Thank you, I just looked at $_GET on php.net and now understand. :) OTOH, I
think maybe I'll make a form with a POST method, and hidden inputs for my
vars, in the places I now have hrefs with appended variables. The contents
of the address bar for my, very simple, site is starting to make a Google
look like child's play .

It appears to be a moot point now for the OP (is going to use POST), but
the fragment identifier (#top) should be at the end of the URI string -
after the variables.

script.php?myva r=thevar&myvar1 =thevar2#top

I would still like to know how to get this to work, for future reference.

I notice that the server on which the script is run, and which is outside my
control, has register_global s set on. So I don't need to use $_GET to return
appended variables, but could this be why the fragment identifier is being
ignored?

Oops, sorry chaps! It does work as above, I had an if else back to front. :(
