(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

mysql_field_type -- Get the type of the specified field in a result

Description

string mysql_field_type (int result, int field_offset)

Example 1. mysql field types


<?php   mysql_connect ("localhost:3306"); mysql_select_db ("wisconsin"); $result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM onek"); $fields = mysql_num_fields ($result); $rows   = mysql_num_rows ($result); $i = 0; $table = mysql_field_table ($result, $i); echo "Your '".$table."' table has ".$fields." fields and ".$rows." records <BR>"; echo "The table has the following fields <BR>";  while ($i < $fields) {     $type  = mysql_field_type  ($result, $i);     $name  = mysql_field_name  ($result, $i);     $len   = mysql_field_len   ($result, $i);     $flags = mysql_field_flags ($result, $i);     echo $type." ".$name." ".$len." ".$flags."<BR>";     $i++; } mysql_close();  ?>       

For downward compatibility mysql_fieldtype() can also be used.
