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

function get_col_names(){  
    $sql = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM tableName";  
    $result = mysql_query($sql);     
    while($record = mysql_fetch_array($result)){  
     $fields[] = $record['0'];  
    }
    foreach ($fields as $value){  
      echo 'column name is : '.$value.'-';  
}  
 }  

return get_col_names();
