Please tell me the answer for this question.

The $_GET array contains variables added to the web address. If I want my first name (Alena) displayed by this PHP command ...

echo $_GET["name"];

ā€¦ then what needs to be added to the end of the web address?

http://localhost/contact-thanks.php(               )

You need to create a query string after the php file name:

http://localhost/contact-thanks.php?name=Alena

Query strings start with a ? and are comprised of name=value pairs separated by &s. So one might look like this:

http://localhost/contact-thanks.php?firstname=Alena&lastname=xxx&address=yyy&city=zzz
