<assuming name="database" value="MySQL" NOT SPECIFIED>
You would probably want to use the combination of the MySQL query "SHOW
COLUMNS FROM <tablename>" and the PHP function mysql_field_type().
An example would be:
<?
//Establish connection and select database here
$sql = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM myTable";
$result = @mysql_query($sql, <connection>) or die();
//Dummy variable for incrementing current field
$count = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)
{
echo "Field: ".$row[0]." Type:
".mysql_field_type($result,$count);
$count++;
}
?>
Further information and example usage of mysql_field_type() can be found at:
http://us3.php.net/mysql_field_type
Additionally, that site's sidebar lists other useful MySQL functions in PHP.
