Question

I’m trying to build a PHP function that allows me to have an array of the headers of MySQL database for finding a particular field.

function table($tablename,$id) {
  $post = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $tablename WHERE ID = '$id'");
}

How would I then output the table headers as effective miniature queries for the row in question.

eg. $post->title, $post->timestamp, $post->field4

Answer 1

You need MySQLi or PDO_MySQL, but in your case:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($post)) {
    echo $row['title'];
}

Remember that the use of mysql_* function is discouraged.
