Change to

echo '<td   style="margin-top: 3px; padding: 3px 2px; background: none repeat scroll 0px 0px #E9E9E9;" onclick="getdesc(\''.$descriptn.'\')" >';

use double quote for this, that was the mistake.

echo "<td   style='margin-top: 3px; padding: 3px 2px; background: none repeat scroll 0px 0px #E9E9E9;' onclick='getdesc(\'$descriptn\')' >";

I also tried but this will not work if the descriptn value will be a string

Single quotes vs double quotes

echo '<td   style="margin-top: 3px; padding: 3px 2px; background: none repeat scroll 0px 0px #E9E9E9;" onclick="getdesc(\''.$descriptn.'\')" >';

Here's another approach without concatenating strings:

$description = "hello world";
echo "<td onclick=\"getdesc('$description')\">";

echo '<td onclick="getdesc('.$descriptn.')">';

You may add it like this.
