Re: How to get column names

[potherca catcher]

I was looking for this to, only in PHP... I don't know the PERL function for it, but the MySQL query is
DESCRIBE `person`;
or you can use
SHOW COLUMNS FROM `person`;
which does the same thing...
I found it in the online manual:
13.5.4.3. SHOW COLUMNS Syntax http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/show-columns.html
and
13.3.1. DESCRIBE Syntax http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/describe.html
Hope this helps.
