MySQL describe set

[Anon]

Hi!

Is there a way to get the values of a column set from PHP?

i.e. a way to get 'a','b','c' from the following column definition:

+-------+-------------------------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+-------------------------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| whatever | set(''a','b','c') | YES | | NULL | |
+-------+-------------------------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

If I do a mysql_field_type() query, I only get 'string' as a result 🙁

Thanks.
