you want to show the column names of WHAT?
if you want to get those of a previous SELECT..., there's a special function for that.
here's some code from my mysql admin module:
$fields = array();
while ($meta = mysql_fetch_field($result))
{
array_push($fields, $meta->name);
}
if you want to get the columns of a table in general, you may either use SHOW TABLE
STATUS... or DESCRIBE...
you can test both in the mysql console and see what they return and how you need to
interpret the result.
