Getting field labels from the $node variable How can I get the labels of specific fields within a node, in Drupal 7? 

The field for which I am interested has the following structure:


    [field_text_question1] => Array(
      [und] => Array(
        [0] => Array(
          [value] => Sales Intern
          [format] => 
          [safe_value] => Sales Intern
        ) 
      )
    )
The best way is to use field_info_instance($entity_type, $field_name, $bundle_name) to get information about specific instace of a field. The label of the field is contained in the array returned from that function.

 $info = field_info_instance('node','field_name','content_type_name');
 print $info['label'];
