http://192.168.0.1/index.php?DSE=matrix&access=31337#herd
1. Grab the Anchor reference "herd" from the fake URL above and store it as a variable using PHP.

You already know the facts...
QUERY_STRING: DSE=matrix&access=31337
REQUEST_URI=/index.php?DSE=matrix&access=31337

HTTP Request: Get /index.php?DSE=matrix&access=31337
PHP_SELF=/index.php _REQUEST["DSE"]: matrix _REQUEST["access"]: 31337

and same for _SERVER vars per normal PHP operation.

So, does anyone have any ideas? I was just going to ereg and parse it out to a variable but PHP cant 'grab' the anchor passed as part of the URI requested. According to what I have found, browsers dont send the anchor in the URI but use the anchor "locally" within the page.
This is okay, except when the index.php dynamically generates frames containing references to dynamically generated pages. I want to pass the anchor in one of the frames.

So far, my conclusion deems #1 impossible. I am hoping someone can prove me wrong.
