# mysql_list_fields

mysql_list_fields -- List MySQL result fields

## Description

`int mysql_list_fields`(string database_name, string table_name, int [link_identifier] );

mysql_list_fields() retrieves information about the given tablename. Arguments are the database name and the table name. A result pointer is returned which can be used with mysql_field_flags(), mysql_field_len(), mysql_field_name(), and mysql_field_type().

A result identifier is a positive integer. The function returns -1 if a error occurs. A string describing the error will be placed in `$phperrmsg`, and unless the function was called as `@mysql()` then this error string will also be printed out.

For downward compatibility mysql_listfields() can also be used.
