How to escape "#" character in URL using PHP

[amkohl]

We are using PHP framework to populate some dynamic values at page load. For this, we have implemented regex patterns in XML using PHP library to fetch some specific values from URL


Like in URL below-

http://<domain-name>/product-name/profile#/overview

In this URL, whenever <product-name> AND <overview> is passed in the URL, by fetching these values using regex pattern in XML, wants to populate some dynamic values at page load.

But it seems like the "#" sign in the URL is not being parsed.

Please suggest me the correct pattern or let me know if I have missed anything.

Appreciate all relevant inputs and earliest response.
