How to check $_GET isset for a parameter and value?

Let's say I have a link:

https://www.example.com/?name=john

I know how to do something if a specific parameter exists :

<?php if (isset($_GET['name'])) : ?>

What I want is to use if for both, parameter and value.

Basically I want to do like this:

<?php if (isset($_GET['name, john'])) : ?>

Above is just an example. It's doesn't work.

Can anyone guide to the right code for this?

Thanks.

You first need to check if the parameter is set and after that if parameter equals the expected value.

Like this:

<?php if (isset($_GET['name'])) : ?>
    <?php if ($_GET['name'] === 'john') : ?>
        // Name exists and is john
    <?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
