mysql_list_fields
string$database_name,
string$table_name,
[resource$link_identifier = NULL]
): resource
Retrieves information about the given table name.
This function is deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query to issue an SQL SHOW COLUMNS FROM table [LIKE 'name'] statement instead.
Parameters
- database_name
-
The name of the database that's being queried.
- table_name
-
The name of the table that's being queried.
- link_identifier
The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect is assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect had been called with no arguments. If no connection is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.
Return Values
A result pointer resource on success, or false on failure.
The returned result can be used with mysql_field_flags, mysql_field_len, mysql_field_name and mysql_field_type.
Notes
Note:
For backward compatibility, the following deprecated alias may be used: mysql_listfields
