when ever i am giving a space between a word & i click to call a function, then i am getting the below error:

SyntaxError: unterminated string literal
[Break On This Error]   

$(this).SelectProjectBox(363,"ssss

mypage# (line 1, col 29)

Browser generated html:

<span ssasas")="" onclick="$(this).SelectProjectBox(363,"ssss" href="#">ssss ssasas</span>

My actual code

  echo '<span href="#"  onClick=$(this).SelectProjectBox(' . $cat->project_id . ',"'.$cat->project_name.'")>' . $cat->project_name . '</span>';

what is the cause Please suggestion, how can i modify my php code for this?

you missing quotes on onclick event try

echo '<span href="#"  onClick="$(this).SelectProjectBox(' . $cat->project_id . ','.$cat->project_name.')">' . $cat->project_name . '</span>';

or try

<span href="#"  onClick="$(this).SelectProjectBox(<?php echo $cat->project_id ;?>,<?php echo $cat->project_name;?>)"><?php echo $cat->project_name;?></span>

If I may give you some advice: split up your code a bit more. It is easier for people to understand:

$content  = "<span href='#' ";  
$content .= "onClick=\"$(this).SelectProjectBox($cat->project_id,'$cat->project_name')\"";
$content .= ">";
$content .= $cat->project_name . "</span>";

echo $content;

Escape single quote(') using \.

\' will echo '

To specify a literal single quote, escape it with a backslash (\). To specify a literal backslash, double it (\\). All other instances of backslash will be treated as a literal backslash: this means that the other escape sequences you might be used to, such as \r or \n, will be output literally as specified rather than having any special meaning.

Code

echo '<span href="#"  onClick="$(this).SelectProjectBox(\''.$cat->project_id .'\',\''.$cat->project_name.'\')">'.$cat->project_name.'</span>';

Read String

Instead of

echo '<span href="#"  onClick=$(this).SelectProjectBox(' . $cat->project_id . ',"'.$cat->project_name.'")>' . $cat->project_name . '</span>';

try with

echo '<span href="#"  onClick="$(this).SelectProjectBox(\''.$cat->project_id .'\',\''.$cat->project_name.'\')">'.$cat->project_name.'</span>';

Here, we are echoing the html part and we are using single quotes for enclosing the entire html string. So whenever we want single quotes in the string , here we want it for functions, we have to escape it using backslash as /' which will display a single quote. Otherwise the string will get stopped at that point.
