Php and Html code within echo

I'm writing an if statement in which a button needs to show if the cart is empty. For this button I need to get the form key of the product for the data-url So something like this:

<a href="#" data-url="checkout/cart/add/product/59/form_key/<?php echo Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey(); ?>/" class="btn btn-success">Order</a>

As mentioned above I need to wrap this button in an if statement, so something like this:

 <?php
    $_helper = Mage::helper('checkout/cart');
    if (1 > $_helper->getItemsCount()){
        echo '<a href="#" data-url="checkout/cart/add/product/59/form_key/<?php echo Mage::getSingleton(\'core/session\')->getFormKey(); ?>/" class="btn btn-success">Order</a>';
    }
    else{
        '<p>hello</p>';
    }
 ?>

But obviously I can't have php echo within echo. Can anybody point me in the right direction of how to do this?

You don't put PHP inside HTML inside PHP. Since you're already in the context of PHP code, just concatenate the values you want to the output:

echo '<a href="#" data-url="checkout/cart/add/product/59/form_key/' . Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey() . '" class="btn btn-success">Order</a>';

The resulting output is always just a string. You can simply build that string with whatever values you have.

You can just use string concatenation:

echo '<a href="#" data-url=".../' . Mage::getSingleton(...) . '"' ...

Simply don't open PHP up again. You can terminate the HTML interpretation inside an echo.

Your code should look like this:

<?php
    $_helper = Mage::helper('checkout/cart');
    if (1 > $_helper->getItemsCount()) {
    echo '<a href="#" data-url="checkout/cart/add/product/59/form_key/'.Mage::getSingleton(\'core/session\')->getFormKey().'/" class="btn btn-success">Order</a>';
    }
    else {
        '<p>hello</p>';
    }
    ?>
