I've reviewed the "Working with $_GET Variables" video several times, but the answer isn't what I typed (?name="Alena"). What am I missing in my logic?

The issue with your logic is that you do not need to include the quotes around the name Alena. The URL is already technically a string, therefore there is no need for quotation marks.

Hope this helps!
