kieran, try this ...
$fieldresult = mysql_list_fields($some_database, $some_table);
$fieldcount = mysql_num_fields($fieldresult);
for ($my_counter = 0; $my_counter < $fieldcount; $my_counter++} {
$fieldsize = mysql_field_len($fieldresult, $my_counter);
echo "fieldsize = ".$fieldsize;
echo "<br>";
}
other useful field informatiomn functions are ...
$fieldname = mysql_field_name($fieldresult, $my_counter);
$fieldtype = mysql_field_type($fieldresult, $my_counter);
