如果你喜欢的话，还有这个:

mysql_query('SHOW COLUMNS FROM tableName'); 

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';
}

在mysql中，通过关键字或查询来获取列的详细信息和表的结构

1.DESC table_name

2.描述table_name

3.显示table_name中的列

4.创建表table_name

5.解释table_name

调查:

mysql_query('DESCRIBE '.$table);

这个怎么样:

SELECT @cCommand := GROUP_CONCAT( COLUMN_NAME ORDER BY column_name SEPARATOR ',\n')
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS 
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'my_database' AND TABLE_NAME = 'my_table';

SET @cCommand = CONCAT( 'SELECT ', @cCommand, ' from my_database.my_table;');
PREPARE xCommand from @cCommand;
EXECUTE xCommand;

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();
}
