In MySQL 4.1.x, the four TEXT types (TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, and LONGTEXT) return 'blob" as field types, not "string".

Additional to the note below:
If you're using the "SHOW FIELDS" syntax, be sure that you're adding the table name instead of the db name in the "FROM" parameter:
$result=mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM table");?>
Also possible:
$result=mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM table.db");?>
or this:
$result=mysql_query("DESCRIBE table");?>http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/describe.html

Condensed version of what KRANG said.
To get info on the MYSQL field type, use this code
$result = mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM db_name");
$i = 1;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { //go through one field at a time
echo "Field $i: ";
print_r($row) //display all information about A field which can be accessed thru the "$row" array.
$i++;
}
?>
Will display something like:
Field 1: Array ( [Field] => SN [Type] => mediumint(8) unsigned [Null] => [Key] => PRI [Default] => [Extra] => auto_increment ) , SN, mediumint(8) unsigned
Field 2: Array ( [Field] => ENTITY_ID [Type] => varchar(20) [Null] => [Key] => [Default] => [Extra] => ) , ENTITY_ID, varchar(20)

This function is broken in 4.4.1 (works fine in 4.3.X).

The note blow seems incomplete/incorrect. For php 4.3 and mysql 4.x the returned values are:
CHAR, VARCHAR, TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, LONGTEXT, ENUM, SET: string
TINYINT, SMALLINT, MEDIUMINT, INT, INTEGER, BIGINT: int
FLOAT, DOUBLE, DECIMAL, NUMERIC: real
TIMESTAMP: timestamp
YEAR: year
DATE: date
TIME: time
DATETIME: datetime
TINYBLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, LONGBLOB, BLOB: blob
if mysql-field-type seems to return the wrong values, you may encounter an compatibility problem of mysql, php and the libraries you use. Try reinstalling php and mysql.

TIME: time
DATETIME: datetime
TINY_BLOB, MEDIUM_BLOB, LONG_BLOB, BLOB: blob
NULL: null
Any other: unknown

Hmm for the previous comment, note that SHOW FIELDS is an alias of SHOW COLUMNS. Very useful if you need to search the mysql-documentation. Here is the link anyway...

The field type returns what PHP classifies the data found in the field, not how it is stored in the database; use the following example to retrieve the MySQL information about the field....
$USERNAME = '';
$PASSWORD = '';
$DATABASE = '';
$TABLE_NAME = '';
mysql_connect('localhost', $USERNAME, $PASSWORD)
or die ("Could not connect");
$result = mysql_query("SHOW FIELDS FROM $DATABASE.$TABLE_NAME");
$i = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['Field'] . ' ' . $row['Type'];
}
