Use single quotes and escape single quotes inside the string with a \ :

$htmlvariable = '<a onclick="calledfunction(\'string\',javascriptvariable);">Calling</a>';

Otherwise, this will produce this error :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

To include those " in a PHP double-quoted string, you'll need to escape them:

$htmlvariable = "<a onclick=\"calledfunction('string',javascriptvariable);\">Calling</a>";
