MySQL depreciated mysql_list_* commands: Replacements?

So PHP is saying mysql_list_tables is depreciated. I replaced it with mysql_query("SHOW TABLES FROM DB") and everything is fine. Then mysql_list_fields didn't work right. So I submitted a bug (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25460) about it, and they said IT TOO was depreciated, which is fine. But I haven't figured out how to replace mysql_list_fields with a nice simple SQL command, since a bunch of code relies on mysql_list_fields to return a nice $result (ie Resource #37) to use with mysql_field_flags, mysql_field_name, etc. Anyone got any ideas on how to do that without replacing mysql_field_flags et al? Or do I have to rewrite the code entirely to use "SHOW FIELDS FROM DB.TABLE" and rewrite my own _field_ functions?
