Question

I am trying to fetch a variable address from my current URL using JRequest::getVar('address') method.
But if the address value has a (#) character, the part after the # character is not retrieved.

I understand that URI is a combination of query + fragment and the part after a hash symbol is treated as a fragment.
I have tried to use urlencode method but it still doesn’t solve the problem.

Can anyone please tell me how to solve the issue?

I guess you will have to replace the hash-symbol on your own. For example:

str_replace($the_url, '#', '-');

I don’t know, where exactly you have to do that, because I don’t know how the Joomla!-Framework handles links and urls. But I am sure, that someone else can help here any further…
