Header Redirection Woes

[Jonty]

Hello

I'm trying to use the header() function to redirect the user to a specific page and, more importantly, a specific point in that page.

In X/HTML this is done by appending the file name with a # and the name or id of the element in that page you want to go to. However, when using the following code . . .

header("Location: http://www.myserver.mysuffix/home.php#SomePointInThePage");

. . . I am redirected to http://www.myserver.mysuffix/home.php and the #SomePointInThePage is gone. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your time

Hi Jonty,
i am still a php-newbie but what do you think about this :

header("Location:http://www.myserver.mysuffix/home.php?entrypoint=1");

and in your home.php you can do things like this:
if ( $_GET['entrypoint'] == 1 )
{
SoSomething()
}
else
{
DoSomethingElse()
}
