>From experience with oracle, desc only works in an sql prompt, not through
code. So use the more lengthy method
in mysql:
SHOW FIELDS FROM $table_name
in oracle:
SELECT c.column_name, c.data_type, c.data_length, c.data_precision,
c.data_scale, c.nullable FROM sys.dba_tab_columns c WHERE c.owner = '$owner'
AND c.table_name = '$table_name'

Subject: [PHP] Strange error on mysql_fetch_array
The following code fragment works properly, in that I get the output I'm
expecting. However, if I don't disable error messages with @, I get an
error message from PHP saying: "Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid
MySQL result resource in /var/www/htdocs/cgcm/test2.php on line 9."
How can the resource be invalid if I'm getting the results back? I'd
appreciate any explaination.
$connection_id = @mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root') or die('No
connection.');
$database_id = @mysql_select_db ('cgcms', $connection_id) or die('No
connection.');
...
$result_id = @mysql_query("DESC $table_name $field_name");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result_id); # This is line 9
