LIMIT 1" [, $link]) Works with mysql_field_* functions (at least it seems to) correctly. Since mysql_list_fields is now depreciated, you might want to check your code out soon/now to make sure you don't get screwed when the PHP team takes mysql_list_fields out of PHP entirely. Don't you love it when you figure out your own question?
