<dd> <?php $styles=styles(); 
if(isset($styles[$user->style]))echo $styles[$user->style];
?> </dd>

If you're using PHP7, you can use the null coalescing operator to give a default value when a variable isn't set:

echo $styles[$user->style] ?? 'N/A'

In earlier versions, use the ternary operator:

echo isset($styles[$user->style]) ? $styles[$user->style] : 'N/A';
