Display key_value on front end

    I’ve got a set of key_value’s that I’d like to use to create buttons on the front end, allowing my client to place both a URL and the title of the button. Backend stuff works fine, but can’t figure out how to echo out the key_value, I just get arrays.

    Backend:

    array(
'id' => 'links',
'name' =>__('Extra Links','projects'),
'desc' => 'Key is button title, value is the URL. Please include http://',
'type' => 'key_value',
),

    Front end attempt, this just returns blank.:

    $links = rwmb_meta('links');
if ( !empty ( $links ) ) {
	foreach ( $links as $link ) {
		echo "<a href='{$link['value']}' class='btn btn-primary btn-block' target='_blank'>{$link['key']}</a>";
	} //end links if
}

    Tried this to simplify & troubleshoot:

    foreach ( $links as $link ) {
	echo $link;
} //end links if

    Which just echos “Array Array”. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    The key is stored as 0 and the value as 1, so:

    $links = rwmb_meta('links');
if ( !empty ( $links ) ) {
	foreach ( $links as $link ) {
		echo "<a href='{$link[1]}' class='btn btn-primary btn-block' target='_blank'>{$link[0]}</a>";
	} //end links if
}
