Question

Basically every time I use header() to redirect I still carry any hash I had before. And it’s producing bad results in the app, duplicate actions and such.

Trying to erase the hash with JS is no good since I cannot remove the #.

How can I remove it when redirecting?

Answer 1

It must be you who is using # in your header() because PHP does not put # while redirecting…

Correct syntax :

header('Location: page.php');

If your string is dynamically generated you can use a regex and you can remove # using preg_replace() before it assigns the url to header()
