Description
int mysql_list_fields (string database_name, string table_name [, int
link_identifier])
mysql_list_fields() retrieves information
about the given tablename. Arguments are the database name and
the table name. A result pointer is returned which can be used
with mysql_field_flags(),
mysql_field_len(),
mysql_field_name(), and
mysql_field_type().
A result identifier is a positive integer. The function returns
-1 if a error occurs. A string describing the error will be
placed in $phperrmsg, and unless the function
was called as @mysql() then this error string
will also be printed out.
Example 1. mysql_list_fields() example
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'myname', 'secret');
$fields = mysql_list_fields("database1", "table1", $link);
$columns = mysql_num_fields($fields);
for ($i = 0; $i < $columns; $i++) {
echo mysql_field_name($fields, $i) . "\n";;
}

can also be used.
