My meaning is how can I get all the fields name of a table?

ID Name Age ....
1 John 20
2 Smith 23

Get ID, Name and Age and so on.

How can I get metadate of a table in PHP3?

    

If you think about things like the output of "\d tablename", turn on

the logging of queries, do a "\d tablename" and watch the

logfiles.



Somewhere I need the fieldtypes of a table named $this->table, the

query is



      $q = "SELECT a.attname, format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod)

        FROM pg_class c, pg_attribute a

        WHERE c.relname = '".$this->table."'

        AND a.attnum > 0 AND a.attrelid = c.oid

        ORDER BY a.attnum";



which is stolen from the logs - I'll never understand it ;)
