Below will only set the $_GET data, but there is no actual data to show:

name.php?name

You would need something like...

name.php?n=George

Then the php would be like so:

<?php
echo 'Hello ' . $_GET['n'];
?>

In the url "name.php?n=George" it works as such:

name.php - File name
n - $_GET name
George - $_GET value

So this url:

info.php?name=Luke&age=23&country=England&area=Leicester

Would give my details in this php

<?php
echo 'Your name is ' . $_GET['name'] . ' and you are ' . $_GET['age'] . ' years of age.<br />';
echo 'You live in ' . $_GET['area'] . ' which is in ' $_GET['country'];
?>

That would output

Your name is Luke and you are 23 years of age.
You live in Leicester which is in England.

? is for declare variable, like $, but is for URL

Try something like:

echo 'Hello ' . key($_GET) . '!';

Try something like:

echo 'Hello ' . key($_GET) . '!';
