Hi,
Try the following,
<?
mysql_connect("DBServer","DBUser","DBPassword");
$queryColumn = mysql("DBName","desc tableName");
$columnCount = //Find out the number of column in the table.
$index=0;
while($index < $columnCount)
{
$columnName = mysql_result($queryColumn,$index,"Field");
echo "<p>Column name ($index) : $columnName</p>";
$index++;
}
?>
