Get #part in URL with PHP/Symfony

Question

I'm working with Symfony 1.2. I've a view with a list of objects. I can order them, filter them by category, or moving to the next page (there is pagination). Everything is done with AJAX, so I don't have to load all the page again.

What I want to achieve is to have http://urltopage#page=1&order=title&cats=1,2 for example; so the new page is saved in the browser history, and he can paste it to another web.

I haven't found a way to get the #part. I know that's only for the browser but I can't believe I can't get through PHP. I'm sure there is a simple solution I'm missing...

thanks a lot!

Answer 1

You can't get it through PHP because it's never transmitted to the server.

You can, however, get it with JavaScript via window.location.hash, then transmit it to the server via AJAX.
