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

Use mysql_fetch_field() to view all column data. See manual.

$query = 'select * from myfield';
$result = mysql_query($query);
$i = 0;
while ($i < mysql_num_fields($result))
{
   $fld = mysql_fetch_field($result, $i);
   $myarray[]=$fld->name;
   $i = $i + 1;
}
