[Jerry Kapron]

Jeremy,
Some characters need to be URL-encoded in order to be included in a URL.
# should be represented as %23.. in your case:
program.php?letter=%23

These should help:

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_ref_urlencode.asp
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc1738.html

cheers,
Jerry

>I'm trying to pass the parameter '#' between PHP programs, as in:

>program.php?letter=#

>and I'm finding the '#' parameter does not get passed, although other
alphanumeric characters do. I just need confirmation '#' is a reserved
character that cannot be used as a parameter. Also, what other restrictions
are placed on parameters? Do they have to be alphanumeric?
