You can modify the href attribute of your link:

$("#example2 a").attr("href", url + "?var1=" + username);

If username uses special characters you will need to url encode it.

You could either use PHP, or set location.search.

What about using cookies? http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Cookie - no need to modify query string :)
