MySQL query to get column names?

Question

I\'d like to get all of a mysql table\'s col names into an array in php?

Is there a query for this?

Answer 1

You can use following query for MYSQL:

SHOW columns FROM your-table;

Below is the example code which shows How to implement above syntax in php to list the names of columns:

$sql = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM your-table";
$result = mysqli_query($conn,$sql);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
    echo $row['Field']."
";
}
