You're doing a couple things wrong.

  1. In HTML you should quote attribute values such as href
  2. In PHP you're not concatenating anything, just echoing
  3. You forgot the link text
  4. For readability, you can (probably) use the <?= shorthand instead of <?php echo
  5. <a /a> is broken tag syntax. Should be <a>...</a>

End result is this:

<a href="http://example.com/uid=<?=$uid?>">Link Text</a>

This is one of the most helpful

echo "<td>".($tripId != null ? "<a target=\"_blank\"href=\"http://www.rooms.com/r/trip/".$tripId."\">".$tripId."</a>" : "-")."</td>";

It will work!

try this

<?php 
$url = 'https://www.w3schools.com/php/';
?>

<a href="<?php echo $url;?>">PHP 5 Tutorial</a>

Or for PHP 5.4+ (<?= is the PHP short echo tag):
<a href="<?= $url ?>">PHP 5 Tutorial</a>

or 
echo '<a href="' . $url . '">PHP 5 Tutorial</a>';

Perhaps something like this:

print '<a href=http://example.com/?uid=' . $uid . '>Link</a>';

Try this,

<?php
@session_start();
$uid= $_SESSION['userid'];
?>
<a href="http://example.com/?uid=<?php echo $uid; ?>" >Your link text</a>
