Instead of doing a somefile.php#ref do a somefile.php?jump=ref and
then in the somefile.php add a mix of javascript/php to perform the
"jump"...
That is a workaround and should work in any browser that uses javascript.
Of course, if javascript is turned off the user is always stuck to the
top of the document, which isn't a too bad degradation of
funcionality... (specially if the top of the document has links for
it's targets).
The problem seems to be endemic to MSIE. Reducing to its simplest form,
entering any URL of the form "somefile.php#link" displays only the top
of the file - i.e. the "#link" spec is ignored. Naturally, if the URL is
"somefile.htm#link" or "somefile.html#link", everything works. This
problem migrates when I use "somefile.php?section=link". Using PHP, I
have to use...
print("<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\"
content=\"0;URL=comm_data.php#".$section."\">\n");
...and nothing works because it still presents an internal link to a PHP
file to MSIE. Unfortunately, I don't know enough Javascript to code
anything useful. (I've previously managed to avoid polluting my pages
with Javascript.) I've prowled around trying to see if the file
extensions MSIE recognizes are in a configuration file or the registry
somewhere, but I haven't found them yet.

Many thanks to Luis Ferro who finally tipped me off to what I was doing wrong.
Within the page, I was using NAME attribute within <A> tags only. Once I
changed to use both the NAME and ID attributes, everything worked just fine.
Obviously, MSIE no longer honors the NAME attribute in a PHP file.

Hi! I need to read XML output from an URL such as "
http://myfoo.foo.org/cgi-bin/foo.pl?name=12345"; using PHP4 but I am not sure
how to do so and what way would be most efficient, can anybody give me some
ideas?
Thanks!
