John,
I had a similar problem when passing # from one page to another as an html
anchor. What worked for me was separating the # in quotes as follows:
echo "?id=" . $row[0] . "#" . strtolower($row[1]) . '">';
When I did this I had no problem passing the entire string without the end
being interpreted as a comment.
