<?
if($name) {
 echo $name;
 }else{
 echo "<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?name=#asdf\">Click me</a>";
 }
?>

When you click on 'Click Me', it displays the link again, when it should output '#asdf'. This does not happen using the POST method.

This is a browser issue, since it uses # as the key that it needs to go that particular anchor of a page.

Use urlencode when passing variables in the URL like that.

<?
if($name) {
 echo $name;
 }else{
 echo "<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?name=".urlencode("#asdf")."\">Click me</a>";
 }
?>
