xsql - accessing parameters in sqlfunction

Hi                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                   
  I'm a newbee when it comes to xsql/xml...                                                                        
                                                                                                                   
  I'm having problem getting access to parameters passed from a webpage. I'm proberbly just misunderstanding       
  something.                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                   
  Here's what's done: The user selects a year which is then passed to the xsql, and I need to select all           
  diaryentries from the year given (see code below). My problem is that the '?' is not accepted as the value of    
  the selectYear parameter. How do I get hold of that value so that I can use it in the to_date function?          
                                                                                                                   
  This is the code I have                                                                                          
                                                                                                                   
  <xsql:query
