Hi,
First off thanks to everyone for the previous help. I managed to get it
sorted out and used several of the suggestions made.
I am trying to do a DESC table_name using PHP so it looks like it would it
you did it from the command line.
i.e.
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| name | varchar(30) | NO | | NULL | |
What I have found is that the following does not work the way I would have
thought.
$query = "DESC table ".$currenttb;
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
etc.....
I have found something that works, but it is still not like the above and is
really bulky. I can not get the type (varchar, etc) to show like above, it
will show string, blob, etc, and the last problem is it puts the last 4
fields in one variable (flags).
Does anyone know of a way to get this to output as shown above. I am putting
this into a form for editing, so I need everything in the proper places.
Thanks
Here is the entire code:
mysql_select_db($_SESSION['currentdb']);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$_SESSION['currenttb']);
$fields = mysql_num_fields($result);
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$table = mysql_field_table($result, 0);
for ($i=0; $i < $fields; $i++) {
$type = mysql_field_type($result, $i);
$name = mysql_field_name($result, $i);
$len = mysql_field_len($result, $i);
$flags = mysql_field_flags($result, $i);
echo all the filds....
}
This outputs (depending on the order you echo them):
username string 50 [not_null primary_key auto_increment] value in [] is one
value.
