Ok, that works great. Now, what is the best way to echo the result.
For example
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","u","p");
mysql_select_db("killerspin_com", $connection);
$sql = "SHOW CREATE TABLE update_list";
$result_id = mysql_query($sql,$connection);
then what,
if (mysql_num_rows($res...))
???
or
while ($rows = mysql_fetch_array()...)
????
