你可能还想检查mysql_fetch_array()，如下所示:

$rs = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) {
//$row[0] = 'First Field';
//$row['first_field'] = 'First Field';
}

这个解决方案来自命令行mysql

mysql>USE information_schema;

在下面的查询中，只需将<——DATABASE_NAME——>更改为您的数据库，<——TABLENAME——>更改为您的表名，其中您只需要description语句的字段值

mysql> SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = '<--DATABASE_NAME-->' AND   TABLE_NAME='<--TABLENAME-->';

有趣的是，您可以使用 EXPLAIN table_name与DESCRIBE table_name和SHOW COLUMNS FROM table_name同义 尽管EXPLAIN更常用来获取关于查询执行计划的信息。

下面的SQL语句几乎是等价的:

SELECT COLUMN_NAME
  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
 WHERE table_name = 'tbl_name'
  [AND table_schema = 'db_name']
  [AND column_name LIKE 'wild']

SHOW COLUMNS
FROM tbl_name
[FROM db_name]
[LIKE 'wild']

参考:INFORMATION_SCHEMA列

Mysqli fetch_field()为我工作:

if ($result = $mysqli -> query($sql)) {
  // Get field information for all fields
  while ($fieldinfo = $result -> fetch_field()) {
    printf("Name: %s\n", $fieldinfo -> name);
    printf("Table: %s\n", $fieldinfo -> table);
    printf("Max. Len: %d\n", $fieldinfo -> max_length);
  }
  $result -> free_result();
}

如果你喜欢的话，还有这个:

mysql_query('SHOW COLUMNS FROM tableName');
