PHP $_GET not working with JQuery Mobile

Question

I am writing an app using JQuery Mobile and PHP.

The problem: When I try to pass values from one JQuery mobile page (e.g. from #page1 to #page2 using Ajax and PHP) $_GET does not retrieve the values in the URL.

The url will look like this:

myApp/#page3?fid=Milk+Cheese+Butter

PHP is unable to get "?fid=".

I figure this is a problem with the way the URL is setup using JQuery mobile (single page). Any help resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

My Ajax (snippet):

request.onreadystatechange = function(){
    if((request.readyState==4) && (request.status==200 || request.status == 304)) {
        if(request.responseText!= undefined){
            window.location.replace('#page3?fid='+request.responseText+'');
        }
    }
}

First PHP page:

<?php 
    include '../connect/connect.php';
    $ingredients = $_POST['ingredients'];
    if (empty ($ingredients) === false){
        foreach($ingredients  as $key => $ingre){
            if ($ingre != 'undefined'){
                $refine = substr($ingre, "4");
                $refined = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $refine);
                echo $refined;
            }
        }
    }
?>

Second PHP page:

<?php
    if (isset($_GET['fid'])) {
         echo 'yes';
    } else {
        echo 'no';
    }
 ?>

It appears that you have the get string after a hash sign. PHP doesn't get anything after the hash sign. That is stripped out by the browser and never even sent to the server. — Jonathan Kuhn

Yes, that's what I figured. But JQuery mobile requires that the # be there to navigate between pages. ...Is there a way around this? — user2036852

The hash should be at the back, so the proper url would be myApp/?fid=Milk+Cheese+Butter#page3 — GolezTrol

The hash (everything starting from the # character) is not sent to the server. The hash should be at the end of the url, after the so called query string, so the proper url would be:

myApp/?fid=Milk+Cheese+Butter#page3
