I was wondering if there was a way to use the htaccess file to rewrite an anchor i.e (whatever.com#page2) to go to page2.php on the local server. I know this can be done with JavaScript but if I could do it server side that'd be so much better.

Currently I have my rule setup like this (and it's not working):
Code: [ Select ]
RewriteRule ^#portfolio$ /index.php?page=portfolio [L,NC]


Any suggestions?

Browsers don't send the anchor along with the URI in the request, so no.

Anchors were designed to be in-page navigation, I guess browser makers didn't think a server would ever need to know about them back when every bit was a big deal.
Strong with this one, the sudo is.
