Extracting column names from a db

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 





I need to write a script that will extract the names of the columns in my 
database eg. "user_id, username" can anyone help as to how to do this!

I have tried

**************************************************
***********
mysql_select_db("filterseveuk") or die(mysql_error());

$query = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM " .$table. "";

$result = mysql_query ( $query ) or die( mysql_error () );

$numrows = mysql_num_rows ($result);

$row = mysql_fetch_array ($result);

for($x=0; $x <= $numrows; $x++){

echo $row[$x] ;

}
**************************************************
***********
this doesn't work the way i want it to and gives me the output

**************************************************
***********
user_idint(11)PRIauto_increment
