$example.='

<div id="test-'.$num.'">
    <a href="http://google.com">Google</a>
</div>';

The following doesn’t work (gives an IF parse error) 

$example.='

<div id="test-'.$num.'">
    'if($num == 2)'
        <a href="http://yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>
    'else' <a href="http://google.com">Google</a>

  1. instead you could have done:

    $aText = ($num == 2) ? '<a href="http://yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>' : '<a href="http://google.com">Google</a>';
$example.='    
<div id="test-'.$num.'">
    '.$aText.'
</div>';

  2. You can concatenate the code:-

    $example.='
<div id="test-'.$num.'">';
    if($num == 2){
       $example.=' <a href="http://yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>';
    }else {
       $example.='<a href="http://google.com">Google</a></div>';
    }

  3. check the code:

    $example.='<div id="test-'.$num.'">';
        if($num == 2)
            $example.= '<a href="http://yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>';
        else 
            $example.='<a href="http://google.com">Google</a>';
    $example.='</div>';
