Actually, "/page.php?parameter&parameter&parameter#anchor" is the correct
way, since the script/page/file name itself and what you call the query
string form the URI (which is the part of the URL after the protocol and
host name), while the anchor is just a client-side "tool" that will make the
browser jump to that anchor tag. I don't think in a normal situation the
server should even receive the anchor tag inside the GET request, so chances
are this is exactly the source of your troubles.

What browser/client are you using?

Take care,
Hendrik
