mysql_num_fields

(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

mysql_num_fields -- Get number of fields in result

Description

int mysql_num_fields ( resource result)

mysql_num_fields() returns the number of fields in the result set result.

The database parameter is the name of the database to retrieve the list of tables from. Upon failure, mysql_list_tables() returns FALSE.

For downward compatibility mysql_numfields() can be used. This is deprecated however.

See also mysql_select_db(), mysql_query(), mysql_fetch_field(), and mysql_num_rows().
