WHERE table_name = 'mydatabase'

Answer 1

$result = mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM sometable");
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        print_r($row);
    }
}

the result maybe:

Array
(
    [Field] => id
    [Type] => int(7)
    [Null] =>
    [Key] => PRI
    [Default] =>
    [Extra] => auto_increment
)
