field names in mysql

[Anon]

Ok, i am a bit of a beginner at php, and i am trying to retrieve the field names (or whatever they're called, the column names in mysql tables) dynamically and i have been pointed to this url a few times.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.each.php

i have read over it but do not understand it, anyone willing to give me a working example?

Hi
Sounds like you might be better off looking at mysql_list_fields()
I'm a 'bit of a beginner' too so I'll let you check it out for yourself as I've not had opportunity to try it out!

Hope that's of some use
