$_GET['IsEmail']

value in PHP page,

I think the

#

in between the URL is creating the problem, is there any way to get it, please advise..

Answer 1

The fragment is never sent to the server, so if you want access to the query parameters you need to bring them forward:

https://demo.qa.com/?isEmail=true&eid=1&template=2#/customer/email
                    ^                             ^
                    query                         fragment

Answer 2

The anchor fragment portion of the URL (anything after #) isn't sent to the server at all. It only lives client-side. The server has no knowledge of it, and therefore PHP has no knowledge of it.

If you want to do anything with the anchor fragment, you must do it client-side.
