How can I get the labels of values of a field?
This was my solution:

  if (isset($node-&gt;field_k_status[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'])) {
    $info = (field_info_field('field_k_status'));
    $status =  $info['settings']['allowed_values'][$node-&gt;field_k_status[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value']];
  } else {
    $status = "Not Set";
  }


At this point, $status will have the label of whatever field_k_status is set to.
field_info_field() gets the details about the field, and $node-&gt;field_k_status[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'] gets the value. I think that there is likely a better way, but I couldn't find it. There is a somewhat similar question asked here, but I didn't find what I was looking for anywhere else.
