resource
mysql_list_fields ( string database_name, string table_name [, resource link_identifier])
mysql_list_fields() retrieves information

mysql_field_len(),
mysql_field_name(), and
mysql_field_type().
Example 1. mysql_list_fields() example <?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
$fields = mysql_list_fields("database1", "table1", $link);
$columns = mysql_num_fields($fields);
for ($i = 0; $i < $columns; $i++) {
echo mysql_field_name($fields, $i) . "\n";
} |

For downward compatibility mysql_listfields()
can also be used. This is deprecated however.
