variable link stored in db 1

[thompom]

hi - am sure i've done this before, but cant figure it out

have a link on a page that is from a db

page code

<a href= <%=(x_modadurl)%> >

in the db (x_modadurl) i store

[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tek-tips.com[/URL]

this works fine, but if i want to include a variable in my url i cant get it put the variable in the link

i think it should look like

"[URL unfurl="true"]http://tek-tips.com?"[/URL] & x_modid

but this doesnt work - the url ends up as

http://tek-tips.com/?

am i making sense - hope so, if not let me know!
am using mysql and x_modadurl is in fieldtype text
