Question

Here I want to fetch the field names from the table name which is stored in the variable $table. And want to make a table headers of the field names. What’s wrong with this approach I tried:

<?php

     $sql=mysql_query("show fields from $table");
     if(mysql_num_rows($sql))
     while($res = mysql_fetch_object($sql))
     {
     ?>
     <th><?php echo $res->field; ?></th>


     <?
      }
      else
      {
      echo "No data to display";
      }



        ?>

Answer 1

The query has to be

$sql=mysql_query("show columns from $table");
