mysql 查询列名,MySQL查询获取列名？

I'd like to get all of a mysql table's col names into an array in php?

Is there a query for this?

The best way is to use the INFORMATION_SCHEMA metadata virtual database. Specifically the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS table...

SELECT `COLUMN_NAME`

FROM `INFORMATION_SCHEMA`.`COLUMNS`

WHERE `TABLE_SCHEMA`='yourdatabasename'

AND `TABLE_NAME`='yourtablename';

It's VERY powerful, and can give you TONS of information without need to parse text (Such as column type, whether the column is nullable, max column size, character set, etc)...

Oh, and it's standard SQL (Whereas SHOW ... is a MySQL specific extension)...

For more information about the difference between SHOW... and using the INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables, check out the MySQL Documentation on INFORMATION_SCHEMA in general...
