Hi Alex, Im not 100% sure what your actual question is but I'm assuming your answer wasn't working (I know its a late reply but for anyone else looking)

<?php

function my_plugin_get_profile($my_plugin_username) 
{ $json_feed_url = 'http://myapi.net/' . $my_plugin_username . '.json'; } 

?>
  • you didn't need the curly braces on the "$my_plugin_username" bit. Hope this helps anyone :)
