Well, I had the impression you didn't understand that part.
But appearantly you do.

This part is where you confused me.
It looks like you want to ADD stuff to the $_GET-array, which doesn't make
much sense.

I do not see the problem to be honest.
I just tested on my own machine (PHP5) the follwing:

http://bla.bla.bla/test.php?id=HJUYH_%234_NAT

from php.test:

$id = $_GET["id"];
// ID now contains HJUYH_#4_NAT

Which is excactly what is expected.

So show us some more code.
