Get column information from a result and return as an object
Description
object fbsql_fetch_field (resource result [, int
field_offset])
Returns an object containing field information.
fbsql_fetch_field() can be used in order to

retrieved by fbsql_fetch_field() is retrieved.
The properties of the object are:
name - column name
table - name of the table the column belongs to
max_length - maximum length of the column
not_null - 1 if the column cannot be null
type - the type of the column

<?php
fbsql_connect ($host, $user, $password)
or die ("Could not connect");
$result = fbsql_db_query ("database", "select * from table")
or die ("Query failed");
# get column metadata
$i = 0;
while ($i < fbsql_num_fields ($result)) {
echo "Information for column $i:<BR>\n";
$meta = fbsql_fetch_field ($result);
if (!$meta) {
echo "No information available<BR>\n";
}
echo "<PRE>
max_length: $meta->max_length
name: $meta->name
