Formatting Field Label

Hi,
I’m using the following code to display both the field label and value:

<?php 
   $field_name = "distance";
   $field = get_field_object($field_name);
   echo $field['label'] . ': ' . $field['value']; 
?>

The output on the front-end of this is Distance: 33miles
How do I wrap a span around the field label so I can style it? <span>Distance:</span> 33miles
Also, how do I get the field label to display ONLY if it has a value?

Hi this is what I have used

if(get_field(‘cultivar’)){
$field_name = “cultivar”;
$field = get_field_object($field_name);
echo ‘‘, $field[‘label’],’‘ . ‘: ‘ . ‘<div class=”headlinename”>’, $field[‘value’],'</div>’,'</br>’;}

The code has a div wrapped round the value so you can use ::after content: ‘miles’; if you liked.

This piece of code only shows when there is a value too.

Thanks but I wanted the label wrapping in HTML not the value, also because you didn’t put your code in code tags when copying/pasting the quotes/apostrophes will be the wrong format.

I found this code which seems to work well:

<?php $field_name = "distance";
	$field = get_field_object($field_name);?>
       <?php if ($field['value']): ?> 																	        
      <span class='post-meta-key'><?php echo $field['label']; ?>:</span> <?php echo $field['value']; ?>									
<?php endif; ?>

Let me know if this is a good/bad solution.
