I created mysql tables and there I have put some columns.
Now I want to check that a certain column exists in the database via php.
Like this:
try
$result = mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM `table` LIKE 'fieldname'"); $exists = (mysql_num_rows($result))?TRUE:FALSE; if($exists) { // do your stuff }
For more :- MySQL, Check if a column exists in a table with SQL
Note:- mysql_* is deprecated use mysqli or PDO
