Is this line of code not properly escaped?

<input type="radio" name= <?php echo "<a href ='profile.php?user=$user_id' class='box' style='display:block'> $username  </a>";?> />

The above line of code functions correctly when parsed but when run a the closing 

/>

is added at the end. so it produces the appropriate username with radio button, but following the username, for instance instead of 

michael_jackson

I get 

michael_jackson/>

Sorry, I know this is elementary but I'm not seeing what's wrong.

You are trying to echo the <a> element inside the name property of your input. This isn't valid HTML.

I am assuming you want to have the text for the radio button be a link, so try this instead: 

   <input type="radio" name="user" /><a href="profile.php?user=<?php echo $user_id; ?>" class="box"><?php echo $username; ?></a>

Also its really personal preference but whenever possible I think it's better to keep the HTML separate from the PHP.

Note: Because I am assuming you want the text to be next to the input I removed the display:block; style.
