Hi..

        read the following code its from manual..

        you can go 4 mysql function in it fro more info..

 

<?php
// Connecting, selecting database
$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')
    or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db('my_database') or die('Could not select database');

// Performing SQL query
$query = 'SELECT * FROM my_table';
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());

// Printing results in HTML
echo "<table>\n";
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
    echo "\t<tr>\n";
    foreach ($line as $col_value) {
        echo "\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n";
    }
    echo "\t</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";

// Free resultset
mysql_free_result($result);

// Closing connection
mysql_close($link);
?>

Why do a foreach inside the while when $line and $col_value will print the exact thing. Anyway i guess the answer is to print column names and not row values, which i have no idea.

try

$result = mysql_query('DESCRIBE table_name');
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $field_name[] = $row['Field'];
}

i put names of fields in array in same time

also try:

 

i think its simple look if you do some fetch array

 

you will have this as value

 

[field]=> value

 

the field is there all you have to do is make a dynamic query like

 

select * form $table limit 1
