Question
I'm creating a website that requires a redirect from one page to an id of the same page using PHP. When the header is called it just redirects to the page without the specified id even though it is called in the header function to redirect to the part of the page with the id.
It is supposed to redirect to:

Russianheader('Location: '.$findHttp.'://'.$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].'/~a7068104/2013-2014/Lab_13/Reports/Reports.php#redirect');
But it actually directs to:
header('Location: '.$findHttp.'://'.$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].'/~a7068104/2013-2014/Lab_13/Reports/Reports.php');
Is there a problem with my code that is causing this. (By the way this is a continuation of another question, but my code wasn't posted in the other question and I couldn't delete the other question even though I wanted to.)
This is my code:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['reportsubmit'])) {
$radio = $_POST['report'];
if ($radio == 'customer') {
$redirect = 'Click <a href="#customer">here</a> to continue on with the form';
} else if ($radio == 'item') {
$redirect = 'Click <a href="#item">here</a> to continue on with the form';
} else if ($radio == 'department') {
$redirect = 'Click <a href="#department">here</a> to continue on with the form';
} else if ($radio == 'person') {
$redirect = 'Click <a href="#person">here</a> to continue on with the form';
}
$findHttp = isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'off' ? 'https' : 'http';
header('Location: '.$findHttp.'://'.$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].'/~a7068104/2013-2014/Lab_13/Reports/Reports.php#redirect');
} else if (isset($_POST['customersubmit'])) {
//process form
//redirect
exit;
} else if (isset($_POST['itemsubmit'])) {
//process form
//redirect
exit;
} else if (isset($_POST['departmentsubmit'])) {
//process form
//redirect
exit;
} else if (isset($_POST['personsubmit'])) {
//process form
//redirect
exit;
}
?>

Solution
This is happening because the hash is a browser utility. From my understanding, you simply cannot redirect to a URL with a hash from the server side (PHP).
The only way to do this is via javascript. Here's an answer to a previous page that shows how to do this in JavaScript. In your case you would have to capture the form submit and then call window.location.replace with the appropriate hash.
OTHER TIPS
The hash part is never sent to the server. It only exists in the web browser so you will have to write javascript code to get it. Then of course you can in javascript send it to the server.
