nesting php

Hello everyone! I am trying to pass a variable in a url and can't seem to do it. The problem is, the url is already being determined by a php "if" statement. So, when I get to the part where I try to append the url I get parse errors. What I would ideally like to do is generate the url using php and append the url with a variable, also using php. The variable is a username, therefore i need to use (urlencode()). Any ideas.
