Displaying Labels

I have a basic grip on php and can usually get away with a few minutes research when checking how to do a thing. But I’ve stumbled a bit here.

I’ve got a custom field which allows the author to select some checkboxes when making a post to define the variations available. On the other side the customer can then select a product from those available using a selection box. All good so far.

I’d like to display the labels of the boxes checked rather than their values and I can’t seem to make it work. I need the values for some js so they could come through as the option ids.

Here’s what I have:

<?php
$values = get_field('product_types');
{
    echo '<select>';

    foreach($values as $value)
    {
        echo '<option>' . $value . '</option>';
    }

    echo '</select>';
}

?>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try this:

<?php
  $full_object = get_field_object('field_name_here');
  
  foreach($full_object['value'] as $value){
    
    // $value is the 'value'
    $label = $full_object['choices'][$value];

} ?>
