get - Pound sign (#) not working in PHP

Question

I have variable 'cno' and it's values sometimes have 123# - ( end with pound sign. )

The problem is, after passing the URL I couldn't get variable with pound sign.

ex: my url - /index.php?cno=34#

So I need to get $_GET['cno'] value like = 34#, but it only display 34

Is it possible to get 'cno' variable value with pound sign.

thanks.

# in a URL indicates a document fragment. URL-encode your values before sending them.
