newbie question links and output

[socal local]

I'm creating a page for work where I have a list of the 50 states, and
when one state is clicked, a pop-up comes up where it says, "Hello
Arkansas, etc...". I initially thought I would have to create 50 static
html pages, but am sure this could be done with 1 php page. Thanks.

Basically, I have a webpage with a list of states such as:

California
Oregon
Washington

with each state hyperlinked to another page that will say,
"Hello California..." when California is clicked. Of course,
this could be done by creating a page for each state, but
thought it would be better to have 1 page with PHP. I've done
this kind of thing with form fields, but wasn't sure how to do
it with hyperlinks.

the link looks like (for example):
popup.php?state=California
or if the states are in a database
popup.php?stateid=3

then in the popup.php

in case 1:
hello <?=$state?>
or strictly
hello <?=$_GET['state']?>

in case 2 first get the state name from the db according to the id then
use similar formula to display it
