title: Hash symbol in URL via GET
body: <p>I am trying to pass a text string with the symbol <code>#</code> in it and I am having problems receiving the GET method with PHP.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to change the symbol <code>#</code> by <code>%23</code> directly in the URL and it does not work.</p>
  
  <p>I have a file type <code>/tests.php?value=hello#world</code> and I need to make that symbol <code>#</code> be treated as plain text and not as a special HTML anchor character.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
