I think I got this off the Zend site a year or so ago:
//

$sorted="unsorted") {

$table = addslashes($table);
$field = addslashes($field);
if ($result = mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM $table_name LIKE
\"$column_name\"",$db_connection)) {
$temp = mysql_fetch_array($result);
if (strstr(strtoupper($temp['Type']),"ENUM")) {
$str = StripSlashes(substr($temp['Type'],
(strpos($temp['Type'],"(",0))+1, (strpos($temp['Type'],"\)",0)-1)));
$tok = strtok($str,",");
while ($tok) {
$labels[] = substr($tok,(1),(strlen($tok) - 2));
$tok = strtok(",");
}
switch(strtolower($sorted)) {
case "ascending" :
sort($labels);
break;
case "descending" :
rsort($labels);
break;
default :
break;
}
return $labels;
} else {
echo ("Error not ENUM type\n");
}
} else {
echo ("Error querying database.\n");
echo mysql_errno( ).": ".mysql_error( )."\n";
}
return false;
}
