OK, please ignore, I believe I've found the answer in the manual notes:
$query="your SQL";
$result=mysql_query($query) or die("Query ($query) sucks!");
$fields=mysql_num_fields($result);
echo "<table>\n<tr>";
for ($i=0; $i < mysql_num_fields($result); $i++) //Table Header
{ print "<th>".mysql_field_name($result, $i)."</th>"; }
echo "</tr>\n";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { //Table body
echo "<tr>";
for ($f=0; $f < $fields; $f++) {
echo "<td>$row[$f]</td>"; }
echo "</tr>\n";}
echo "</table>

Subject: RE: Extracting result - unknown number of fields
..but even if I can get the names and number of fields during 'run-time',
how do I make the following statement applicable to a variable number of
fields:
while(list($a,$b...)= mysql_fetch_array($result))
or is there another way to extract which would work?

Maybe mysql_num_fields() and mysql_field_name() will be of use, here? Check
the manual..
