mod_rewrite with anchor link

Question

I know you can't redirect anchor URLs to another page, but is it possible to redirect a URL to only a single anchor?

So

http://www.example.com/video/{title}

always gets sent to

http://www.example.com/video.php?title={title}#player

The only thing that changes is the title, anchor is always the same. I need to redirect to a certain slide on a coda slider

Answer 1

RewriteRule ^/video/(.*) /video.php?title=$1#player [NE,L,R=301]

NE|noescape

By default, special characters, such as & and ?, for example, will be converted to their hexcode equivalent. Using the [NE] flag prevents that from happening.

Answer 2

You should be able to use the # sign in a redirect rule if you specify the NE flag (No Escape)
