[Resolved] Child posts custom fields – how to return checkbox values rather than 'Array'

I am trying to: get the values of checkboxes for a child post using:
$child_posts = types_child_posts('credits-line-item');
foreach ($child_posts as $child_post) {
echo $child_post->fields['roles'];
}

I visited this URL: local install, can't provide url

I expected to see: the values of the checked boxes

Instead, I got: Array

Are you using the field 'roles' as a checkboxes field? Therefore $child_post->fields['roles'] will output an array instead of a string.

You need to loop this array again. The following is my example code:

$child_posts = types_child_posts('credits-line-item');
foreach ($child_posts as $child_post) {
	$field_roles = $child_post->fields['roles'];
	if (is_array ($field_roles)) {
		foreach ($field_roles as $field_role) {
			echo $field_role['0'];
		}
	}
}

Thank you so much, and thank you for posting example code, I have this working now.
Many thanks.
