If its a single line string you can use preg_match and a regular expression such as this
preg_match('/^\/(?P<command>\w+)\s(?P<name>[^#]+)\#(?P<domain>.+?)$/', '/start info#example.com', $match );
But depending on variation in the data you may have to adjust the regx a bit. This outputs
command [1-6] start
name [7-11] info
domain [12-23] example.com
but it will also have the numeric index in the array.

Just to break this down a bit, in English.
The leading ^ is start of line, then named capture ( \w (any a-z A-Z 0-9 _ ) ) then a space \s then named capture of ( anything but the #t sign [^#] ), then the #t sign #, then name captured of ( anything .+? to the end $ )
This will capture anything in this format,
(abc123_ ) space (anything but #)#(anything)
