How to read complete URL string using PHP?

Question

My URL looks like this:

http://mydomain.com/reader/index.php?type=numerated&id=28&m=2#page/6/mode/2up

How can I get it like variable? Using "standard" PHP codding, I don't know how to get part with page/6/mode/2up

Looks like minor problem, but I was not able to get solution... Thank you in advance!

You can't, because in most cases the browser doesn't pass the # or anything after it to the server — Mark Baker

If you're asking about parsing that url as a string this question should help. — Mike B

The part after # is a client-side part of the URL, it refers to an anchor within the HTML. Therefore, you can only retrieve everything before that.

Clients are not supposed to send URI-fragments to servers when they retrieve a document, and without help from a local application fragments do not participate in HTTP redirections.

~ Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier

To retrieve everything else, you can use this code:

$url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
