This is not a PHP thing, it's a HTML thing. HTML property references (like
href and value) which are not enclosed in double quotes will break at the
first whitespace.

Try using escaped quotes (/"):
$link="<a href=/"deleterecord.php?id=$row[0]&tablename=$tablename/">$row
[0]</a>";

or I prefer to use single-quotes and concatenators for PHP and double-
quotes only for the HTML bits:

$link='<a href="deleterecord.php?id='.$row[0].'&tablename='.
$tablename.'">'.$row[0].'</a>';

Although the fact that you have such text in an "id" field indicates poor
design.
