If the PHP processor is dropping your anchors after following links, you 
might want to try replacing the # symbol with %23. It's the same symbol, 
and although you can see it in links, it won't show up in the URL bar. For 
some reason, microsoft's windows-based web servers have a tendency to chop 
off that # sign on complex pages.

(I'm assuming you have the target specified in the text properly <a 
name="anchor"></a> where you want the page to scroll to)
