alternative to mysql_field_name in mysqli

Question

So I found this great function that converts mysql queries into a XML page, and it looks like exactly what I need. The only problem is that it uses mysql, but thats not sup

Answer 1

There are many ways to do it, I guess the most similar would be:

$fieldName = mysqli_fetch_field_direct($result, $i)->name;
