Single quotes have a different meaning than double quotes. Variables
inside single quotes aren't evaluated, but instead taken as literal
strings. You should be using the quotes vice versa to get the variables
parsed:

"<a href='testcallscript.php?$TableField=[$Criteria];'>"

Cos you know in html it don't matter which quotes you use, but in php it
does, so you should switch them like this.
