mysql_field_name

Description

mysql_field_name() returns the name of the specified field index. result must be a valid result identifier and field_index is the numerical offset of the field.

Example 1. mysql_field_name() example <?php /* The users table consists of three fields: * user_id * username * password. */ $link = mysql_connect('localhost', "mysql_user", "mysql_password"); $dbname = "mydb"; mysql_select_db($dbname, $link) or die("Could not set $dbname: " . mysql_error()); $res = mysql_query("select * from users", $link); echo mysql_field_name($res, 0) . "\n"; echo mysql_field_name($res, 2); ?> The above example would produce the following output: user_id password

For downwards compatibility mysql_fieldname() can also be used. This is deprecated, however.
