MySQL query to get column names?

Question

I\'d like to get all of a mysql table\'s col names into an array in php?

Is there a query for this?

Answer 1

if you use php, use this gist.

it can get select fields full info with no result，and all custom fields such as:

SELECT a.name aname, b.name bname, b.* 
FROM table1 a LEFT JOIN table2 b
ON a.id = b.pid;

if above sql return no data,will also get the field names aname, bname, b's other field name

just two line:

$query_info = mysqli_query($link, $data_source);
$fetch_fields_result = $query_info->fetch_fields();
