DESC {table name} [{field name}] is a valid expression in MySQL. It's a
synonym for the DESCRIBE keyword. Though the query could still be failing
for any number of reasons (invalid table name, invalid field name, older
version of MySQL that doesn't support that syntax, etc.).
Throw in die(), mysql_error(), $php_errormsg; turn down error_reporting,
and/or turn off display_errors...anything but using the @ sign by itself (a
surefire way to never clue in to much stuff is silently going wrong).
