# fbsql_list_fields

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5)

fbsql_list_fields -- List FrontBase result fields

## Description

resource fbsql_list_fields ( string database_name, string table_name [, resource link_identifier] )

fbsql_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 fbsql_field_flags(), fbsql_field_len(), fbsql_field_name(), and fbsql_field_type().

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

Example 1. fbsql_list_fields() example
`<?php $link = fbsql_connect('localhost', 'myname', 'secret'); $fields = fbsql_list_fields("database1", "table1", $link); $columns = fbsql_num_fields($fields); for ($i = 0; $i < $columns; $i++) { echo fbsql_field_name($fields, $i) . "\n";; } ?>`
The above example will output:
    field1
    field2
    field3
    ...
